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.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Current Themes Seminar: Jules Holroyd (Sheffield) (co-hosted with CEPPA) "Proleptic Praise"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: What is praise? I argue that we can make progress by examining what praise does. Functionalist views of praise are emerging\, but I here argue that by foregrounding cases in which expressions of praise are rejected by their direct target\, we see that praise has a wider\, and largely neglected\, social function. First I introduce cases in which praise is rejected. Then\, I identify a series of desiderata for an analysis of praise by bringing these cases into contact with existing views about what praise is and does. Finally I develop a functionalist account and show how it can meet these desiderata. In outline\, my claim is that one key function of praise is to exert social pressure by bestowing esteem. I tease out some mechanisms via which praise exerts social pressure\, and is particularly difficult to challenge. This analysis is responsive to\, and places at the foreground of our analysis\, the possibility that praise can be used for bad and oppressive ends.
