SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Francisca Silva (University of 58łÔąĎ)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Sets as fusions of materially-equivalent rigid embodiments \nAbstract: Albeit having some initial plausibility\, most philosophers today would reject the thesis that members of sets are parts of sets\, instead following Lewis (1991\, 1993) in taking sets and classes more generally to have only their subclasses as parts\, with singletons being mereologically atomic. Against this background\, Caplan et. al (2010) attempt to maintain that sets have their members as parts\, in the framework of Fine’s (1999\, 2010) theory of rigid embodiments. Their view\, however\, is committed to a rejection of classical mereology as it very directly entails failures of the principle of strong supplementation. In this talk I will attempt to motivate a (work-in-progress) view of the mereology of sets based on Fine’s theory of rigid embodiments in which: (i) the members of sets are parts of sets; and (ii) no principle of classical mereology is violated. The resulting view is that sets just are fusions of rigid embodiments sharing the same material parts. Throughout the talk I will also consider how this theory may help justify some of the restrictions on set construction from standard set theory.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Jane Friedman (NYU) “The Aim of Inquiry?”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: It is said that inquiry has an aim\, though it’s not entirely clear how we should think about this claim. What\, in general\, does it mean to say that the activity of inquiry has an aim? In this talk I go through a few options and think about them within the context of the current debate over what the specific aim of inquiry is (e.g.\, knowledge vs. true belief vs. understanding).

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Peter Railton (University of Michigan)
DESCRIPTION:Climate Change\, COVID-19\, Justice\, and Quality of Life \nAbstract: Justice would appear to require that those who are the principal beneficiaries of a history of economic and political behavior that has resulted in harmful global climate change should bear a correspondingly large share of the burden in contending with these harms worldwide. At the same time\, however\, a prevalent material conception of quality of life has led many to assume that taking on this burden would require diminishing the quality of life—and associated level of well-being or happiness—enjoyed in the most-developed countries. For such societies fully to accept this burden therefore seems unlikely to achieve the social and political support it would need. However\, I will argue that a material conception of quality of life is at odds with what can be learned from an extensive body of evidence regarding “subjective well-being”—an imperfect though informative empirical measure of how people experience and evaluate their lives. This evidence suggests an account of the sources and nature of subjective well-being that is compatible with more sustainable levels of resource utilization and more equitable global distribution. The COVID-19 pandemic can be seen as a stress-test for responses to global climate change\, and it has witnessed wide differences in the health outcomes for countries that are not simply a function of the level of material wealth or available technological or medical resources. Effective social policies\, institutions\, and practices have been accompanied by better and fairer health outcomes with less disruption of daily life\, suggesting that the purported “health vs. economy” or “health vs. personal freedom” trade-offs in the most-developed societies have been misconceived. Might something similar be true of the supposed costs to the quality of life of more effective environmental policies and practices on the part of the most-developed societies?
