Good moves. A Risk-Theoretic Account of Telic Know-How DESCRIPTION:Title: Good Moves: A Risk-Theoretic Account of Telic Know-How \nAbstract: I defend a new account of telic know-how\, what I call the Good Moves (GM) account. To know how to complete a telic task T is to possess a stable\, trainable disposition to select and sequence good moves across T’s state space\, where a move is good just in case it robustly reduces the risk of task-failure across a neighbourhood of nearby contexts. The GM account reconstructs the intellectualism / anti-intellectualism dispute as a dispute over two distinct functional roles within a single disposition: an underwriting role (occupied by propositional and quasi-propositional representations) and a manifestation role (occupied by motor and perceptual systems). Their relative weight shifts systematically with three structural parameters of the task environment (namely\, the volatility\, alignment\, and precision of a task) which together yield a taxonomy of practical domains from routine/friendly to hostile. The view builds an anti-luck condition into the unit of action itself in such a way as to dispose of Gettier-style worries at the source; it accommodates gradability and context-sensitivity without multiplying kinds of know-how and\, further\, grounds two empirically familiar grades of practical credit\, one Watsonian (attributability) and one Aristotelian (accountability).

The most sophisticated defence of this view to date is the version of abstractionism found in Linnebo’s recent book Thin Objects (2018). On this view\, good abstraction principles should be understood as involving claims about asymmetric metaphysical dependencies between abstracta (e.g.\, directions\, letter types\, sets) and more familiar objects (e.g.\, lines\, letter tokens\, pluralities). In many ways\, such a view is a highly promising development of more traditional versions of abstractionism. However\, in this paper\, I argue that it\, and any view sufficiently like it\, should ultimately be rejected\, since it cannot adequately respond to a neglected explanatory challenge—what I call the characterisation challenge. This is the demand that any theory of abstracta should accommodate explanations for why abstracta are the way they are. In short\, I argue that the nature of abstracta problematically outstrips the explanatory resources available to this kind of ‘metaphysically serious’ abstractionism.

This exclusion applies only to political power\, not power generally\, but might be supported by a general claim: The distribution of power over others is normatively neutral in itself and matters only insofar as it gives rise to good or bad consequences.  No person has a moral claim to power over others except on the basis\, that person’s having the power will be fair in its effects on those affected.  The discussion surveys relevant arguments advanced by Niko Kolodny\, Daniel Viehoff\, and Jeremy Waldron. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 and online on teams URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-richard-arneson-uc-san-diego/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03\, The Scores\, St Salvator's Quad\, KY16 9AL CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
