SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar: Mark Jago (Nottingham) “Tracking Conjunctions”
DESCRIPTION:Though faced with Kripke’s clear knock-down objection\,\nDon’t be too quick with tracking-the-truth rejection.\nOK\, one knows a red barn for its hue\,\nYet knows it not as a barn\, though it be true.\nThat may be so and yet we know some facts\,\nDespite the chance we’re all just brains in vats.\nAnd tracking shows where closure fails to hold\,\nSo that the skeptic’s doubts can be controlled.\nI’ll claim that knowledge as Nozick once defined\,\nBy Kit’s truthmaker semantics is refined.\nFor Fine’s fine-grained approach defines conjunction\,\nThat we may track the truth without compunction.\nSo faced with skeptical scenarios\,\nReply with Fine\, Nozick\, and Yablo.

SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: Claudia Kreklau (St Andrews) - In-person
DESCRIPTION:Title: Queer/Gender/History \nThis event will begin at 3:15 instead of the usual 3pm. \nAbstract: What can history contribute to contemporary understandings of Gender and Queerness? Historians have shown that our modern conceptions of trans* identity and sexual orientation originate in central Europe c.1869-1910. What else can we learn from history to inform contemporary Gender and Queer Studies? This talk will explore the histories of terms like “Gender\,” the origins of the “two sex” model of humanity\, and explore the fallacies of binary democratisation in the nineteenth century.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Amiya Hashkes (St Andrews) - Epistemic Consequentialism
DESCRIPTION:This week\, we’ll be discussing epistemic consequentialism. I’ll start by giving some background on the topic more generally and presenting some problems that have been raised for it in the literature\, and then spend most of the time on Andersen and Kappel’s article “Epistemic consequentialism as a metatheory of inquiry”. Here is the abstract for their article: \nThe overall aim of this article is to reorient the contemporary debate about epistemic consequentialism. Thus far the debate has to a large extent focused on whether standard theories of epistemic justification are consequentialist in nature and therefore vulnerable to certain trade-off cases where accepting a false or unjustified belief leads to good epistemic outcomes. We claim that these trade-offs raise an important—yet somewhat neglected—issue about the epistemic demands on inquiry. We first distinguish between two different kinds of epistemic evaluation\, viz.\, backing evaluation and outcome evaluation\, and then go on to outline and discuss a consequentialist metatheory about the right combinations of decision procedures to adopt in inquiry. Note that the piece is exploratory in the following sense: we try to explore epistemic evaluation in consequentialist terms\, which involves stating a form of epistemic consequentialism\, but also pointing to what non-consequentialist alternatives might be. Rather than trying to argue decisively for a particular conclusion\, we aim to outline various intricate issues in an underexplored area of theorizing. In the course of doing this\, we’ll transpose some well-known themes from discussions of consequentialism in ethics to the current debate about consequentialism in epistemology\, e.g.\, agent-neutrality\, options\, and side-constraints.

SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: Anne Eaton (UIC) - Online
DESCRIPTION:Title: Beyond Speech: Pictures and Oppression \nAbstract: Philosophical work on oppressive forms of expression strongly tends to give verbal and written linguistic expression pride of place. When it comes to pictures\, there is a tendency to either treat them as if they were language – one sees this in feminist work on pornography – or worse\, to ignore pictures altogether when the topic at hand least typically pictorial or typically has a significant pictorial dimension – one sees this in Jason Stanley’s work on propaganda. \nAgainst this linguisticism\, I argue that central and influential forms of oppressive “speech” are in fact pictorial and that to understand how they do their oppressive work\, we must approach pictures as pictures rather than as forms of spoken or written language. In this paper\, I first examine one glaring case of linguisticism\, then say something about what I think is going on here\, and finally briefly examine examples of oppressive pictures and give the outlines of an explanation of how they do their oppressive work. \nPlease note that I will be discussing pictures that glorify and eroticize rape\, and pictures that mock\, shame\, and demean Black persons. I will also mention pictures of lynchings. I will also briefly show some of these pictures\, though not the lynching pictures. I will not leave any pictures up for long because they are triggering or otherwise injurious for many of us. That\, after all\, is part of the point of this paper. I will give warning before I show or mention these pictures.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar:
DESCRIPTION:Ethan Lai will lead a discussion on ‘What are epistemic standards’ by Laura Frances Callahan and Michael G. Titelbaum. This is the abstract for the paper: \nAbstract: Over the past two decades\, a new concept has gained prominence in epistemology: “epistemic standards”. We catalog the functional roles of epistemic standards\, including their role in explaining reasonable (philosophical) disagreement\, if there is any. Given these roles\, the nature of epistemic standards should be of interest to permissivists\, uniqueness theorists\, subjectivists\, and objectivists alike\, despite their somewhat different understandings of standards’ normative role. Our central question is: What are the real mental phenomena in virtue of which an agent counts as having a particular set of epistemic standards? We consider whether agents have standards in virtue of their beliefs\, their epistemic dispositions\, their intentions/plans\, their epistemic goals/desires\, or their epistemic (“confirmational”) commitments. We ultimately find the last possibility most promising.

SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: Sebastian Stuart Betanzos (St Andrews) - In-Person
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Sex/Gender Distinction\, Revisited \nAbstract: This talk will build on an earlier chapter in my thesis where I sketched out two conceptual resources from psychoanalysis\, these being the body-schema and the universal bisexual potential of the human body (the UBP). The body-schema is the means through which we apprehend having a felt-sense of the body (i.e. it is the psychological abstraction of the ego). The UBP is an observation that any given human body displays both male and female sex characteristics\, even those bodies that would usually be considered as being clearly legible as male or female. Given this psychoanalytic embodiment theory\, I pose the following question: How do particular sex characteristics express themselves in the body-schema? I will argue that there is an assumption hidden in the question\, namely that there is a distinction between sex and gender such that it makes sense to speak of one as if separate from the other. This talk will explore the metaphysics of the sex/gender distinction and will start by distinguishing three different kinds of sex/gender distinctions\, these being: the distinction of classification\, the distinction of features\, and the distinction of function. In order to provide a model that can account for all three of the distinctions individually and in unison\, I will build on the psychoanalytic embodiment theory and integrate it in conversation with recent proposals in analytic social ontology. This model will then be used to clarify the referents in the initial question (‘how do particular sex characteristics express themselves in the body schema?’) and provide the tools to formulate an answer.

SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar: Christopher J. Masterman (St Andrews)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Saying Something with Nothing\nAbstract: Ontological nihilism is the view that fundamentally there are no objects. Whilst it is an increasingly popular view\, nihilists face a so-called expressive adequacy challenge. Standard natural and formal languages carve up the world into at least objects and properties/relations satisfied by those objects. But the nihilist doesn’t think there are any objects! How\, then\, are they to express themselves? The dominant approach is modelled on natural language feature-placing sentences. Just as I can commit to “It is raining” without thinking that any one particular thing is raining\, nihilists develop sophisticated feature-placing languages to talk about how the world is a certain way without committing to there being any particular thing which is that way. I raise some issues for this approach and argue that the expressive adequacy challenge for nihilism is much harder to solve than people have recognised. I then suggest a general diagnosis of what goes wrong for the nihilist. In brief\, I argue that there are two different underlying conceptions of nihilism which are mistakenly run together and only one of these leads to problems of expressive adequacy. To end\, I sketch one way of developing the less-discussed conception of nihilism in response to the expressive adequacy worry.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Philip Ebert (University of Stirling): Varieties of Risk Pluralism
DESCRIPTION:Philip Ebert (University of Stirling): Varieties of Risk Pluralism (joint work  with N. Pedersen) \n\n\nThe dominant approach in the literature on risk is to adopt a monist stance by taking the probabilistic notion of risk to be the only proper notion. However\, there is a growing philosophical literature on non-probabilistic notions of risk. In this paper\, we first briefly outline the current state of the debate with regards to non-probabilistic notions of risk and then present and discuss different forms that pluralism about risk could take\, drawing on pluralist ideas in ethics\, epistemology\, and the philosophies of truth and logic. In the last section\, we investigate how each type of risk pluralism will assess a given thought experiment which will help to highlight their differences and identify predictions for further experimental work on risk pluralism.
