I take this kind of talk to assume that situations are frameworks for making sense of attitudes and actions that may vary relative to persons.  The purpose of this paper is to propose an account of situations that encompasses both individual situations (the situations of individual persons) and joint situations (the joint situations of two or more persons). I propose that individual situations are maximal orientated facts determined by the ways things are qualified relative to a particular person. Joint situations combine the situations of two or more persons by suppressing conflicting qualifications. All joint situations are unified in that they are logically consistent. But different joint situations may retain more of less of the meaning-endowing and action-guiding structure of individual situations. Only joint situations which retain significant situating structure embody a unified interpersonal orientation.

Interest in social metaphysics in recent decades has exploded and questions about the status and ambitions of social metaphysics are now taking centre stage. This workshop aims to consolidate this current methodological turn by hosting a two-day event where participants can discuss questions like the following. How do the traditional questions about the aims and methods of metaphysics apply to debates in social metaphysics? Are traditional distinctions between metaphysical realism\, deflationism\, and pragmatism useful for making sense of the status of properties\, entities\, or kinds that are socially constructed? How do the projects of social metaphysics relate to inquiries into the nature of social reality that have been traditionally conducted within social science and social theory (e.g. feminist theory\, sociology\, economics\, etc.)? How should social metaphysicians understand the epistemology of social metaphysics\, especially given the widespread view that ordinary thinking about the nature of social reality has been systematically distorted by ideology? What role should moral and political values play in social metaphysics? In what ways might embracing normative constraints on social metaphysical theorising impact the status or epistemology of the resulting theories? \nWorkshop Programme \nDay 1 \n10.00 – 10.30 Coffee and Welcome \n10.30 – 12.00 Elanor Taylor (Johns Hopkins) ‘Explanatory Metametaphysics’ \n12.00 – 13.30 Lunch \n13.30 – 15.00 Naomi Thompson (Bristol) ‘Social Construction as Social Explanation’ \n15.00 – 15.30 Coffee \n15.30 – 17.00 Esa Díaz-León (Barcelona) ‘Social Constructionism Revisited’ \n18.30 Speaker Dinner \nDay 2 \n10.00 – 10.30 Coffee \n10.30 – 12.00 Asya Passinsky (Central European University) ‘Pluralism and Amelioration’ \n12.00 – 13.30 Lunch \n13.30 – 15.00 Matthew J.
