SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Roy Sorensen (University of Texas at Austin)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Plural Quantification and Perjury \nAbstract: \nSince the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970\, a prosecutor in the United States can prove perjury by virtue of one statement under oath contradicting another. The prosecutor’s knowledge of perjury need not be specific: she knows some of the statements are perjurious but there is no statement such that she knows it to be perjurious. My thesis is that the perjurer’s knowledge of his own present perjury can be equally nonspecific.  He can know some of his statements are perjurious in the same way as he can know some of his statements are inconsistent. Just as there need be no specific inconsistency\, there need be no specific perjurious statement. What goes for perjury\, goes for lies in general. Exportation is as invalid for telling lies as it is for selling pies. When a grocer sells you a pie through his web site\, there is no specific pie he is selling you. So do not trouble your conscience with this fallacious inference: \nI am telling some lie.  \nTherefore\, there is some lie such that I am telling it.

SUMMARY:Language & Mind Seminar: Mihaela Popa-Wyatt (University of Manchester)
DESCRIPTION:Norm-Shifting through Oppressive Acts\n\n\nThis paper explains how social norms are changed by oppressive speech. Mary Kate McGowan (2019\, 2012\, 2009) has argued that norm shifting is an effect of any move within a norm governed activity. Thus\, moves in a conversational game change the norms of that game. McGowan also argues that individual acts can be parallel moves in multiple games at once. This paper identifies and explains a phenomenon called carry-over effect. I argue that parallel moves are insufficient to account for carry-over effects. The solution is a hierarchy of games. Specifically\, a conversational game is embedded in a larger social game. Each game has a separate but related set of roles for participants and targets. I show how this provides a solution to the problem of carry-over effects. In particular\, I argue that the idea of invited inference explains the fallacious reasoning that audience members employ in order to export conversational low-power roles to corresponding social roles. I discuss two candidate mechanisms that explain an incremental shift in social norms: a Bayesian rule of belief/attitude updating and an associationistic rule between the target and low-power roles based on group-membership. I conclude with brief remarks on the conditions under which harmful norms can spread\, become dominant and persist.

SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar: Alessandra Tanesini (Cardiff University) "Engineering Autobiographical and Collective Memories"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Autobiographical memory\, both individual and collective\, is a way of knowing about\, and making sense of\, the personal past. It is also notoriously politically fraught. On the whole analytic epistemology of memory has been committed to assumptions\, and has focused on questions\, that do not help to understand the role of memory in the justification of political conflict\, hostility and affective polarisation. In this talk I provide an empirically informed account of autobiographical and collective memory that is fit for supplying such an understanding. I argue that we colloquially call “autobiographical memory” is to a large extent just a form of imagination known as mental time travel. Autobiographical memories turn out to be socially shaped narratives in the imagination that sustain self-understanding. Given this conception of a memory\, memories can be truthful even when they include content that was absent in past experiences; they can also mislead despite preserving content from past experiences. I also show that autobiographical memories are also especially vulnerable to being shaped by dominant ways of selecting past events and framing their significance. For this reason autobiographical memories are prone to being hermeneutically unjust. In the second half of the talk\, I focus on collective memories which are shared memories that are narratives that sustain collective identities. I apply the mental time travel framework to this kind of  memory to explain how collective memories can cause affective polarisation and are especially suited as justification for inter-group conflict. Finally\, I deploy the framework to make sense of the idea that members of a social group can have genuine collective autobiographical memories of events that happened before any of the current members of the group were born.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Clayton Littlejohn (KCL) "Why Externalism?"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk is an early version of an intended contribution to a long-standing debate about justification. This is the debate between the internalists and the externalists. Confession. I’ve often struggled to understand why anyone would be an externalist. Additional confession. This makes me worry. If externalists struggle to understand why other externalists accept similar conclusions (e.g.\, I find the rationales for reliabilism quite opaque)\, it seems that my side is at a serious disadvantage. What I’ll do is offer a new(ish) rationale for externalism\, one that builds on some previous arguments but addresses the issues that\, in my view\, are the interesting ones that we should explore further. There’s no point in denying\, I think\, that we sometimes speak as if justification is an internalist notion\, but that might either be because this way of speaking tells us a part of what justification or justification-talk is for or because that’s all there is to justification. I think the internalist picture leaves some important things out that the externalist can account for. Moreover\, I think the externalist picture gives us explanatory resources that the internalist views lack. I can imagine that some internalists will respond by saying that there’s some deep and important insight into the nature of normativity that their view captures and that externalists either overlook or deny\, but I shall explain why I think this response is interesting\, important\, and probably mistaken. I hope that it’s mistaken in an interesting and important way.
