SUMMARY:Language and Mind seminar: Matteo Nizzardo (University of 58łÔčÏ)
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Probabilistic Arbitrary Reference\n\nABSTRACT: Arbitrary Reference is the idea that we can refer to individual entities with some degree of arbitrariness. Although there are different accounts of Arbitrary Reference\, nearly all of them can be challenged on the basis that they entail the existence of free-floating semantic facts\, namely: semantic facts which are not grounded in any non-semantic fact. In this talk I propose a solution. First I argue that the friends of Arbitrary Reference can answer the challenge by appealing to the notion of indeterministic grounding. Then I propose a new account of Arbitrary Reference as a probabilistic phenomenon\, and argue that this new account should be preferred over the classical versions of Arbitrary Reference for its ability to build a bridge between cases of canonical and arbitrary reference and the new insights it offers on the phenomenon of semantic vagueness.

SUMMARY:Book Workshop (in person) – Daniel Muñoz (UNC Chapel Hill)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop on Daniel Muñoz’s forthcoming book What We Owe to Ourselves\n\nDate: 15 May 2024\nLocation: Edgecliffe 104\nRegistration required: email Theron Pummer (tgp4@st-andrews.ac.uk)\n \nProvisional Schedule \n945am: Coffee/tea\, welcome\n10am: Jordan MacKenzie (Virginia Tech)\n1115am: Thomas Schmidt (Humboldt University)\n1225pm: Lunch\n130pm: Quinn White (Harvard University)\n240pm: Coffee/tea\n300pm: Kerah Gordon-Solmon (Queen’s University)\n415pm: Joseph Bowen (University of Leeds)\n5:25pm: Walk around town or go to pub\n630pm: Dinner\n \nAbout the Workshop\nThis is a pre-read event. The book manuscript will be circulated to all participants by 15 April. There are 20 spaces available at the catered workshop\, and 10 spaces available at the dinner. Please let me (tgp4) know if you have any access requirements I should be aware of which will help you attend this event.\n \nAbout the Book\nWhat We Owe to Ourselves is under contract with OUP. The book aims to unify\, in a fresh and systematic way\, the two main concepts in deontological morality. “Restrictions” forbid us from harming others for the greater good; “prerogatives” permit us not to harm ourselves. Muñoz argues that both concepts share a source in obligations. Restrictions consist in unwaived obligations to others\, and prerogatives are waivable obligations we have to ourselves. Just as you owe it to me not to harm me for someone else’s greater good\, you owe it to yourself not to harm yourself.\n \nThe key to this project is a thesis that Muñoz calls the Self-Other Symmetry: we owe the same basic things to ourselves as to a relevantly similar other. In the past\, Symmetry has been criticized as being too restrictive\, since we clearly have extensive freedoms when it comes to our own bodies and things. For me to slap your arm would be morally wrong; for me to slap my own is merely foolish. But the right way to understand this issue\, Muñoz argues\, is not by invoking a mysterious moral asymmetry between self and other. There is a simpler explanation: when I harm others\, I might very well lack their consent\, but I am always a willing party to my own intentional choices. Rather than a moral anomaly\, our relation to ourselves is fundamentally like our relation to a consenting other. The limits of what I may do to myself can be derived from the limits of consent in general.\n \nWhat’s more\, the book is the first Self-Other Symmetric take on restrictions and prerogatives. The standard view is that prerogatives come from the special goodness of self-interest\, while restrictions come from the special nastiness of blood on one’s own hands. This makes the moral agent seem rather self-centered\, caring more about a good time and clean hands than about\, say\, reducing global poverty. Muñoz wants to turn this picture inside-out. You should care about everybody equally. But the choice of what happens to your body is still yours. This follows from the obligations that people owe you. I may not take your spare kidney (even if I need it more)\, since I am restricted by my obligations to you. You may keep the kidney if you wish\, since you owe this to yourself. But the optimal choice—the “supererogatory” deed beyond the call—is to waive the obligations that you are owed for the sake of someone else’s greater good. Equal concern for all beings is the ideal\, but when the sacrifice falls on you\, the choice belongs to no one else.\n \nFunding and Support\nFor supporting this workshop\, we are grateful to the Scots Philosophical Association\, the Society for Applied Philosophy\, the Department of Philosophy at the University of 58łÔčÏ\, and CEPPA.\n\n\n\nRegistration\nAgain\, to reserve a spot at the workshop\, please register by emailing Theron Pummer (tgp4).

SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar: Sabina DomĂ­nguez Parrado (University of 58łÔčÏ and University of Amsterdam)
DESCRIPTION:Title: A New Problem for Logical Contextualism \nAbstract: Logical contextualism is the view that ‘valid’ is a context-sensitive expression. One key reason to endorse logical contextualism is that\, unlike traditional forms of logical pluralism\, it can avoid the so-called collapse problem. Logical contextualism relies on the crucial assumption that each conversational context determines a uniquely appropriate logical consequence relation. In this talk\, I argue for two points. First\, I put pressure on this crucial assumption by focusing on the design of several card-selection tasks. Second\, I show that\, once this assumption is rejected\, logical contextualism does not solve the collapse problem. In light of these two points\, my conclusion will be that logical contextualism\, as currently developed\, is a less promising view than thus far appreciated.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Roy Sorensen (UT Austin & 58łÔčÏ)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roy Sorensen (UT Austin & 58łÔčÏ) \nModesty is a Contagious Blindspot \nI am modest about my spelling accuracy. Oops\, I cannot consistently believe that! Modesty about my spelling entails I underestimate my spelling. If I indeed underestimate my spelling accuracy\, then my ignorance about spelling accuracy is contagious. For if I believe you and I are equals at spelling\, then my modesty commits me to underestimating your spelling. Morally\, you may rightly resent my underestimate! You may also suffer intellectually. In addition to my ignorance of my merit spreading to my ignorance of your merit\, my ignorance can make you ignorant. For if you and I are epistemic peers\, then the limits of my knowledge become the limits of your knowledge. After all\, how do you know that I am modest rather than accurate? In general\, any modesty I possess robs my peers. Modesty is a vice rather than a virtue!

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Neil Sinhababu (National University of Singapore)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Pleasure Fundamentalism \nAbstract: Pleasure fundamentalism is the view that moral value is the same thing as pleasure and this explains all other moral facts. This talk presents two arguments for pleasure fundamentalism and discusses the form of naturalism they arise from. According to the Reliability Argument\, all processes generating moral belief are unreliable\, except for phenomenal introspection which tells us that pleasure is good. According to the Universality Argument\, pleasure is universal moral value\, because of its qualitative identity with the pleasure in the minds of all possible perceivers of moral value. Both arguments are available within an Einsteinian naturalism combining empiricism with a spacetime ontology\, and avoiding behaviorism in favor of a more Humean psychology. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03
