Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Manuel Gustavo Isaac (SNSF/58吃瓜): “Reshaping the world: An empirical method for applied conceptual engineering鈥�
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United KingdomAbstract. 鈥斅燙onceptual engineering is a groundbreaking programme in philosophy that focuses on how to best assess and improve our concepts. Yet, it still lacks an operational framework in order for its case studies to be run effectively. And without such implementation strategy, it will never live up to its proclaimed ambitions: Changing people鈥檚 minds and…

Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Maya Eddon Title: The Humean Objection to unHumean Laws
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United KingdomAbstract: The denial of necessary connections between distinct existences is generally taken to be at the heart of Humanism, and any philosophical account that requires necessary connections is rejected on the grounds that it violates Hume鈥檚 dictum. 聽In this paper, I focus on Armstrong鈥檚 account of lawhood. 聽Lewis objects to Armstrong鈥檚 account on Humean grounds…

Epistemology Seminar. Emilia Wilson: “The Dual Erasure of Epistemic Labour”
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United KingdomAbstract: In this presentation I will discuss epistemic labour, which I characterise as labour one performs in their capacity as an epistemic agent. There is growing interest in a category of domestic labour frequently termed 鈥榚motional labour鈥�. I show that this labour is, in fact, a primarily form of epistemic labour. I argue that domestic…

Conceptual Engineering Seminar |聽Hans-Johann Glock (Zurich): “Conceptual engineering and conceptual analysis: Some conceptual connections”
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United KingdomAbstract. 鈥斅燙onceptual engineering is often presented as radically opposed and as superseding conceptual analysis. Prima facie, however, improving conceptual schemes in a controlled and fruitful way presupposes an understanding of the conceptual status quo. Consequently the condemnation of conceptual analysis by conceptual engineers constitutes a paradox that needs to be taken far more seriously than…

Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Fraser Macbride
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United KingdomTitle: CONVERSE PREDICATES AND THE INTERPRETATION OF SECOND ORDER QUANTIFICATION聽 聽ABSTRACT: In this paper I argue that we cannot interpret second-order quantification as quantification over properties and relations. My argument forges a hitherto unexplored connection between debates typically conducted independently, one metaphysical, about whether there are converse relations, the other logical, about the interpretation of…

Epistemology Seminar (joint with CEPPA!): Sarah Moss (UMich) “How to Be a Clever Contextualist”
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United KingdomAbstract: This talk defends a contextualist theory of 鈥榢nowledge鈥� ascriptions. I argue that in some sentences, the implicit argument of 鈥榢nows鈥� is bound by a quantifier. The natural readings of these sentences can be generated by contextualist theories, but not by competing interest-relative theories of knowledge. In addition, I argue that the contextualist can explain…
