Philosophically\, ethically\, legally and socially\, people and institutions seemed to have implicitly accepted that a foetus and its gestational carrier are separate entities. Colloquially termed the ‘bun in the oven’ view\, this is also known as the container model of pregnancy and has historical roots in medieval conceptions of pregnancy and maternal agency. It forms the foundation of many of our attitudes towards reproductive rights in the modern world. It is my belief\, however\, that the container model of pregnancy is mistaken. I intend to show the ways in which our metaphysical understandings of pregnancy are mistaken\, and how an alternative metaphysical understanding of pregnancy\, which takes into account the physiological truths of the pregnant experience\, will have an impact on our conceptions of reproductive ethics. \nIn 2019\, Elselijn Kinma wrote a paper entitled Were You a Part of Your Mother? in which she argues that foetuses and gestators are metaphysical parts of each other. This is known as the parthood model of pregnancy. I will argue that this metaphysical understanding of pregnancy is much more in line with biological truths about pregnancy\, such as the symbiotic relationship present between foetuses and gestators\, which seems harder to reconcile with the idea of metaphysical separation.   \nMy talk will explore these metaphysical models in depth\, while recognising that this is not a binary conversation\, and that other alternative metaphysical solutions may be viable. My goal\, however\, is to show how conversations on reproductive ethics change when we consider pregnancy from a parthood perspective\, rather than mere containment. I shall discuss  the ethical literature on reproductive rights\, particularly considering topics such as abortion and surrogacy\, as well as reproductive technologies of the future\, and show the extent to which the container model of pregnancy has permeated all sides of these debates.   URL:/philevents/event/fpst-seminar-megan-rawson-liverpool/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231129T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231129T150000 DTSTAMP:20260614T222502 CREATED:20231127T160809Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231129T161622Z UID:10001811-1701262800-1701270000@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Starting a Step Back: The Relevance of Systemic Functional Linguistics to Metaphysics Amie Thomasson (Dartmouth) DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/starting-a-step-back-the-relevance-of-systemic-functional-linguistics-to-metaphysics-amie-thomasson-dartmouth/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:Workshops END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231129T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231129T170000 DTSTAMP:20260614T222502 CREATED:20231109T140106Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231129T161622Z UID:10001768-1701270000-1701277200@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar: NO MEETING DESCRIPTION:No Metaphysics and Logic Seminar this week due to a conference.

Drawing on parallels from moral responsibility\, I suggest that epistemic responsibility requires a certain minimal level of understanding of the reasons for a belief as a condition for properly accepting it. I’ll sketch out an early conception of how I view this relationship between understanding and belief and offer a couple of arguments in its favor.
