The good and the bad are, by contrast, polar opposites: badness is anti-goodness, not non-goodness. What about the fitting and the unfitting, the appropriate and the inappropriate, the apt and the inapt, the warranted and the unwarranted? Is unfittingness non-fittingness or anti-fittingness, inappropriateness non-appropriateness or anti-appropriateness? In this talk I will argue that each of these \u201captic\u201d categories\u2014as I call them\u2014stands in a privative rather than a polar relation to its opposite. More generally, there is no coherent notion of anti-fittingness, no inversely charged flipside to aptness, to be found. In order to establish these claims, a taxonomy of different types of oppositeness will be proposed, and several tests for distinguishing distinct varieties of opposites will be developed. What will emerge is a better appreciation of the structural characteristics of fittingness and the other aptic categories, as well as an argument for taking up the nature of oppositeness as a serious philosophical topic that is ripe for further exploration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong>: Teams (online only)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Is There Anti-Fittingness?&#8221; Abstract: The permissible and the forbidden are privative opposites: each is a lack of the other.
