SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Anna-Sofia Maurin (University of Gothenburg)
DESCRIPTION:Flatworldism: A (Reluctant) Defense \nFlatworldism is a view on the nature of reality according to which reality lacks a certain kind of – hierarchical – structure. Prima facie what this means is that reality’s inhabitants are not sub-dividable into the more and less fundamental such that what is more fundamental (at least sometimes) makes what is less fundamental exist and be the way it is. Flatworldism is not a view I hold. In general\, I think a view according to which reality is hierarchically structured is preferable to one according to which it is not. Still\, I think Flatworldism has received an unfair hearing in recent literature. In this paper I therefore play devil’s advocate and defend Flatworldism against some of the criticisms that have been raised against it. My long game is a defense of the hierarchical—grounding—conception of reality. My hope is that\, in identifying the strongest most charitable version of Flatworldism\, I will be able to more clearly formulate and then more persuasively argue for its opposite.

SUMMARY:Language & Mind Seminar: Jean Gové (58�Թ�)
DESCRIPTION:Cognitive Acquaintance: A Non-Causal Alternative \nWithin literature on singular thought and reference\, acquaintance is one of the ‘orthodox’ ways successful reference is achieved. Generally speaking\, an acquaintance theory articulates that there must be some relation existing between subject and object. While the notion has developed significantly since Russell’s articulation of it\, today the acquaintance relation is generally described in terms of some sort of causal relation. I argue that a causal view of acquaintance faces some challenges which should make us seek an alternative. In its stead\, I propose a rearticulation of Evans’ view of acquaintance which incorporates the notion of skill. In this manner\, I argue that this non-causal alternative – which I term Cognitive Acquaintance – is to be preferred.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Jennifer Morton (University of Pennsylvania)
DESCRIPTION:Title: An Agential Account of Poverty \nAbstract: Poverty has traditionally been conceived as a state of deprivation. To be poor is to lack something that is essential to human flourishing. How that something is conceived—in terms of welfare\, resources\, or capabilities—and how it is to be measured—in absolute terms or as relative to a social standard—has been the subject of much debate within development circles. Though many philosophers have written about our obligations to the poor\, relatively little philosophical attention has been devoted to thinking of poverty as a phenomenon ripe for philosophical analysis. In this paper\, I put forward a theory of poverty rooted in the philosophy of action. I argue that to be poor is to be in a context in which an agent’s capacity for long-term deliberation is systemically undermined by rational pressure to engage in efficient short-term deliberation. In other words\, to be poor is to have to constantly turn one’s mind to the immediate satisfaction of current needs and desires at the expense of deliberating about the pursuit of long-term projects and ends that one deeply values.
