SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Mahrad Almotahari "Blameless Irrationality and Frege’s Puzzle"
DESCRIPTION:I sketch a new puzzle about rational belief and use it to motivate the coherence of blameless irrationality. Relying on a recent framework developed by Maria Lasonen-Aarnio and Timothy Williamson\, I use the idea of blameless irrationality to argue that Frege’s Puzzle rests on a mistake: it poses no threat to coarse-grained conceptions of content.

SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory  Seminar: Elizabeth Barnes
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Limits of Trust: First Person Testimony\, Unreliability\, and the case of ‘Medical Gaslighting’\n\n\n  \nAbstract: Recent work in social and feminist epistemology has emphasized the importance of first-person testimony. But its sometimes unclear when and to what extent we are obligated to believe people’s testimony about their own experiences. I use Katherine Hawley’s framework of trust and trustworthiness to explore a particular example: the case of medical gaslighting and testimonial injustice in healthcare contexts. I argue that Hawley’s framework can help to illuminate places where concepts like ‘gaslighting’ and ‘testimonial injustice’ might be over-extended. \n\nThe seminar will take place online via teams 4-6pm.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Current Themes Seminar: Jessie Munton (Cambridge) "Resilient Ignorance or\, All The Things I Do Not Know and Refuse To Learn"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: I am ignorant of many things. Sometimes that ignorance seems epistemically permissible. At other times it seems impermissible. The problem of permissibility is the problem of providing a principled epistemic distinction between cases of permissible and impermissible ignorance. I argue that the problem of permissibility is particularly acute for evidentialism. Sensitivity to the evidence fails to distinguish cases of permissible and impermissible ignorance: ignorance can be impermissible in the absence of evidence\, and permissible in the face of it. This threatens the evidentialist claim that evidence is the crucial epistemic difference-maker. Instead\, I suggest that problematic cases of ignorance tend to be resilient. Capturing the epistemic significance of that resiliences requires us to expand the scope of our epistemic norms\, to include the salience structures that underwrite our dispositions to gather and respond to evidence more broadly.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Martin Abreu Zavaleta (Syracuse University) "Negotiated contextualism and disagreement data"
DESCRIPTION:Suppose I assert ”Jim is rich”. According to negotiated contextualism\, my assertion should be understood as a proposal to adopt a standard of wealth such that Jim counts as ”rich” by that standard. Furthermore\, according to negotiated contextualism\, this is so in virtue of the semantic properties of the word ”rich”. Defenders of negotiated contextualism claim that this view is uniquely well-placed to account for certain disagreement data; for example\, that if your standard for the application of the word ”rich” is more constraining than mine\, you can sensibly assert ”no\, Jim is not rich” without thereby making an incompatible claim. This paper offers a simpler explanation of the data: speakers can sensibly reject a given assertion provided that they think that the asserted sentence is false in the context which they take to be relevant to that sentence’s interpretation. I argue that\, combined with standard semantic tools\, this explanation can account for the original data and for new empirical results. Along the way\, I present new empirical data to argue against negotiated contextualism.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Epistemology Current Themes Seminar: Romy Jaster (Berlin) "Echo Chambers"
DESCRIPTION:**This talk has been cancelled** \nAbstract: The lecture will take an epistemological look at the phenomenon of echo chambers. In public reception\, echo chambers are held responsible for all kinds of problematic developments\, most notably the growing polarization of some democracies and the radicalization of some social groups\, for example the adherents of problematic conspiracy theories. In recent research\, this picture has become controversial. For instance\, Jennifer Lackey has recently argued that echo chambers are epistemically unproblematic\, while empirical research has raised voices doubting that echo chambers exist at all or have a significant prevalence. I will address both lines of argument in this talk. First\, I will reject Lackey’s theoretical objection to the epistemic problem of echo chambers. Then\, I will use the empirical findings to motivate a paradigm shift in thinking about echo chambers\, which I can\, however\, only sketch in broad brushstrokes.

SUMMARY:Epistemic and Practical Normativity Workshop
DESCRIPTION:An attractive and\, until recently\, orthodox view is that the epistemic domain is in an important sense insulated from other normative domains\, for example the moral or the practical more broadly. Recently\, however\, philosophers have suggested that there are important interactions between epistemic normativity and other flavours of normativity. This conference aims to bring together philosophers working at the intersection of ethics\, practical reasoning\, and epistemology in order to better understand these issues. \nProgramme\n9:30-10 Coffee\n10-11:15 David Owens (KCL) “Excuse\, Capacity and Convention”\n11:15-11:30 Coffee\n11:30-12:45 Jessica Isserow (Leeds) “Blame’s Blind Spot”\n12:45-2:00 Lunch\n2-3:15 Berislav Marusic (Edinburgh) “Interpersonal Reasoning”\n3:15-3:30 Coffee\n3:30-4:45 Daniela Dover (Oxford) “Two Kinds of Curiosity” \nFor a hybrid link\, email nk94[at]st-andrews[dot]ac[dot]uk

SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Leon Commandeur (University of Bergen)
DESCRIPTION:Title: A tour of logical instrumentalism  \nAbstract: \nLogical instrumentalism\, broadly defined\, is the position that holds that logic should be understood as a tool or instrument\, designed or engineered with a specific purpose in mind\, that allows one to achieve certain goals. In this talk I will consider this position in more detail. I will show various instrumentalist proposals in the literature\, both recent and more historical\, with a focus on some proposals put forth in the debate on anti-exceptionalism about logic\, and I will compare the position with other positions in the philosophy of logic. In doing so\, I aim to get more clear what logical instrumentalism can and cannot be\, and what its challenges and promises are.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Michelle Montague (U.T. Austin) “Pseudo-material shadows cast by grammar”
DESCRIPTION:In section IV of ‘On Referring’ (1950)\, P.F Strawson warns us of the “long philosophical shadows” cast by the subject-predicate distinction. “The distinctions between particular and universal\, between substance and quality\,” he says\, “are such pseudo-material shadows\, cast by the grammar of the conventional sentence in which separable expressions play distinguishable roles.” Although Strawson later offered some qualifications on this claim\, I will show how\, in his book Individuals (1959)\, he adheres to its basic spirit. There he holds that just as the fundamental form of thought is not the subject-predicate form\, so too the fundamental form of reality is not the particular-universal form.

DESCRIPTION:This seminar will take place entirely online via Teams: if you would like to attend please email arche-fem-soc[at]st-andrews.ac.uk for details. This will be a short work-in-progress presentation\, lasting 20 minutes\, to leave ample time for discussion.\n\nTitle: Zombie Déjà Vu: Haunted histories of rebuilding after the apocalypse\nAbstract: We are living in a transitional time as our Western societies move out of crisis mode vis-à-vis the COVID-19 pandemic. As such\, different narratives are forming\, including those around COVID long-haulers\, disability\, and “going back to normal”. I am investigating how these narratives are being haunted by the eugenic and ableist attitudes that have shaped our current healthcare system. I am using the figure of the zombie to explore the tension surrounding the inclusion/exclusion of newly (and more) disabled people in our healthcare and public health strategies moving forward.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Current Themes Seminar: Zoë Johnson King (Harvard) (co-hosted with CEPPA) "Working on Yourself"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This is a thesis-antitheses-synthesis kind of talk. We begin with a question: How should one react to one’s own moral achievements and moral failures\, and to the moral achievements and moral failures of other people? One answer that might seem initially compelling is that we should be harsher on ourselves than we are on others: we should be modest about our own moral achievements while celebrating others’ moral achievements\, and we should show more leniency in response to others’ moral failures than in response to our own. As compelling as this answer might seem\, a smorgasbord of recent trends in popular moral thought push back against it in various ways\, and it paints an odd picture of how good people are supposed to talk to each other. That’s the thesis and its antitheses. The synthesis is the central idea of this talk: the idea of working on yourself. I’ll say what working on yourself is and why it matters morally\, and I’ll also introduce the idea of a deliberate self-improvement\, which is my name for what you bring about when you try to work on yourself and succeed. With these two notions in hand\, I’ll argue that the initially-compelling answer and its intuitive counterphenomena can all be accommodated by an account that emphasizes the importance of not only working on yourself\, but also encouraging and facilitating others’ work on themselves\, all while recognizing the enormous diversity of impediments to their doing either of these that particular individuals might encounter. We’ll see that some apparent self/other asymmetries have solid metaphysical or moral underpinnings\, while others dissolve. I’ll then discuss some cool upshots and one remaining deeper puzzle; in brief\, the puzzle concerns whether we should prioritize working on ourselves over supporting others’ work on themselves and\, if so\, what could explain this division of labor.

SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Vera Hoffmann-Kolss (University of Bern)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Bread Prices and Sea Levels: Interventionism\, Monotonicity\, and the Problem of Variable Relativity \nAbstract: A key challenge for interventionist causal models is to distinguish non-causal probabilistic dependence relations from true causal relations. In this paper\, I first argue that causal models can better accomplish this task if they are required to be monotonic in the following sense: the causal relations occurring in a model M would not disappear if further variables were added to M. If causal models must be monotonic\, then standard problem cases for the causal modelling approach can be avoided. This is especially true for cases where variables do not stand in causal relations\, but are probabilistically related by accident\, such as Sober’s famous example of the relationship between bread prices in England and the sea level in Venice. In a second step\, I examine the consequences of the monotonicity requirement for the debate on variable relativity\, that is\, the question of whether a variable can be the cause of another variable relative to a variable set V (constituting a model)\, but not relative to another variable set V’ (constituting a different model). I argue that the monotonicity requirement is consistent with a benign form of variable relativity\, but prevents causal models from being variable relative in a problematic sense.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Simon Prosser ‘Shared Egocentric Thoughts’.
DESCRIPTION:Egocentric thoughts\, such as those that we express using words like ‘I’\, ‘here’\, and ‘now’\, have led to many puzzles. One of these arises from the fact that one might think that communication involves the sharing of thoughts; but\, if my ‘I’ thought can be shared with you\, then you will not express it using the word ‘I’\, and it will have a different significance for your actions. This famously led Frege to the view that ‘I’ has both a public and a private sense\, and hence there is both a public and a private thought. John Perry’s work in the late 1970s offered a different approach\, wherein the same coarse-grained ‘thought’ could be shared\, but those sharing it would be in different ‘belief states’; so\, egocentric thoughts could only be shared in a weakened sense. I shall discuss a different approach that can be taken by those who accept a relational individuation of thoughts\, according to which the question of whether two people share the same thought is determined by the epistemic relations between their thought tokens. I shall conclude that although Perry is right that something in the original Fregean doctrine has to be abandoned\, it is possible to individuate thoughts in a way that better captures their psychological roles. The cost is that we must modify the assumption that behaviour can be explained entirely in terms of thoughts (and attitudes to them). Instead\, we must add to this a distinction between thoughts that are entertained egocentrically (the meaning of which will be explained)\, and those that are not. \n

SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Sophie Nagler (University of St. Andrews and University of Amsterdam)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Meaning\, Structure\, Pluralism: A Co-Determination Theory of Connective Meaning \nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, I propose a proof-theoretic theory of the meaning of logical\nconnectives in a sequent calculus setting. I defend the account by applying it to the debate on logical pluralism. \nWhen do two logical connectives mean the same? Use-conditional theorists of meaning usually reply: when we use the two connectives in the same way. \nWhen we do proofs\, we use the connectives according to their proof rules. Hence\, two logical connectives carry the same meaning iff they are governed by the same proof rules. This use-conditional approach to logical semantics is called proof-theoretic semantics. \nAccording to Restall (2014)\, connective meaning is determined by those parts of the connective-defining rules which are immediate to the introduction/elimination of the connectives\, i.e.\, the active/principal formulae. However\, recent work by Bogdan Dicher (2016) shows that there are proof rules which share active/principal formulae but induce different connective use. To solve this problem\, he proposes the co-determination thesis\, according to which some non-immediate (i.e.\, structural) components of the proof rules also (co-) determine meaning. \nAt this point\, however\, co-determination is a mere thesis. In this talk\, I develop it into a systematic theory of connective meaning. Via a series of Belnapian harmony proofs in minimal deductive contexts\, I prove the exact minimal structural properties co-determining connective meaning for all connectives in the LK-family. This includes classical\, intuitionistic\, dual-intuitionistic\, and lattice logic. \nUltimately\, I argue that we should adopt this account by applying it to the debate on logical pluralism. This way\, I contend that we can overcome some of the shortcomings of Beall and Restall’s famous logical pluralism\, as well as Restall’s 2014 proof-theoretic rendition thereof.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Biancamaria Cepollaro (University Vita-Salute San Raffaele) "Countering Toxic Speech Online – A Qualitative Study on Social Media"
DESCRIPTION:Social philosophy of language has recently focused on toxic speech and counterspeech. Roughly\, toxic speech is discourse that engages (or incites people to engage) in bigoted practices; counterspeech is communication that tries to counteract the harm that other speech may bring about. In this talk\, I consider a counterspeech strategy specifically tailored to address implicit toxic discourse – what Langton (2018) calls blocking. In its most paradigmatic examples\, blocking amounts to spelling out and challenging the objectionable contents implicitly conveyed by a given utterance\, thus preventing toxic material from entering the common ground by default. First\, I’ll illustrate the cognitive and social costs and the drawbacks typically associated with blocking. Then\, I’ll consider online conversations and raise the question of whether and how people engage in blocking on social media\, in light of its costs\, risks\, and repercussions. To address this issue\, I present the qualitative study I ran on Facebook and Twitter\, which resulted in a taxonomy of online blocking\, based on real instances from ecological contexts. My investigation shows how each kind of blocking modulates in a distinctive way the costs and drawbacks usually associated with this practice.
