SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Justin Clarke Doane (Columbia University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: What is Logical Monism? \nAbstract: \nLogical monism is the view that there is ‘One True Logic’. This is the default position\, against which pluralists react. If there were not ‘One True Logic’\, it is hard to see how there could be one true theory of anything.  A theory is closed under a logic!  But what is logical monism? In this article\, I consider semantic\, logical\, modal\, scientific\, and metaphysical proposals. I argue that\, on no ‘factualist’ analysis (according to which ‘there is One True Logic’ expresses a factual claim\, rather than an attitude like approval)\, does the doctrine have both metaphysical and methodological import. Metaphysically\, logics abound. Methodologically\, what to infer from what is not settled by the facts\, even the normative ones. I conclude that the only interesting sense in which there could be One True Logic is noncognitive. The same may be true of monism about normative areas\, like moral\, epistemic\, and prudential ones\, generally.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar: Ryan Miller (University of Geneva) Lexical Negotiators
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Nearly every aspect of words is subject to alteration: pronunciation\, spelling\, part of speech\, and definition. These aspects are often altered intentionally\, yet speakers can err in each of them when using words. Using the semantics of ‘equality’ and ‘equity’ as an example\, this paper resolves the puzzle by suggesting that such alterations are negotiated between speaker and audience\, and introduces a formal framework from financial theory governing those negotiations. The model suggests that successful lexical negotiations are constrained by transaction costs\, which implies that some conceptual engineering projects (like Haslanger’s revision of the word ‘woman’) are likely to fail even though the semantic revision of ‘equality’ and ‘equity’ was largely successful.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Current Themes Seminar: Catherine Elgin (Harvard) (co-hosted with CEPPA) "Epistemic Dynamics"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Epistemic agents are finite and fallible. Our range is limited and some of what we accept is\, no doubt\, flawed. To achieve our epistemic and practical objectives\, we devise methods and practices that foster correction\, refinement\, and expansion of our current epistemic commitments. Traditional epistemology maintains that epistemic acceptability requires non-fortuitously justified true belief\, where non-fortuitousness insures that the justification and the truth maker align. If so\, reflective equilibrium is at best indicative of acceptability. I argue otherwise. Reflective equilibrium is constitutive of epistemic acceptability. Because a network of cognitive commitments in reflective equilibrium is as reasonable as any available alternative in the epistemic circumstances\, it is worthy of acceptance. That does not make it perfect or permanently acceptable. Such a network is susceptible of and probably in need of improvement. But it is the best we can currently do and provides a suitable platform for improvement. I argue that such a network should be designed to foster\, not merely to allow for\, further gains. It should support epistemic leveraging. That requires that it enable critical reflection about its own ends and means\, enabling epistemic agents to recognize opportunities for and obstacles to improvement.
