SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: Francisca Silva
DESCRIPTION:Title: Grounding Gender in Gender Identity \nAbstract: Contra recent proposals\, for instance by Dembroff (2018) and Jenkins (2023)\, I’ll argue for the Real Gender assumption\, namely for its implication that the reason why one should classify trans people as the gender they identify with is that they are the gender they identify with\, in all contexts. I will argue for this claim by arguing in favour of a “gender-identity first” account of gender (Cosker-Rowland\, 2023). Finally\, I will argue that we should classify people according to the gender they identify with\, regardless of whether the operative gender kinds (Dembroff\, 2018) are just or unjust.

SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar: Catharine Diehl (Leiden University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Modal Disunity of Metaphysical Truths \nAbstract: Systematicity has good claim to being a theoretical virtue: that is\, for candidate theories T1 and T2\, if the statements of T1 are more unified than those of T2\, T1 is ceteris paribus to be preferred to T2. One regard in which a theory might be more unified than another is if its claims all have the same modal status. It seems to have an even greater degree of unity if the claims of the theory are characteristic of that modality (in a sense to be explained) and if the modality is a highly natural one. For instance\, it is plausible that all the laws of perfected physical science are physically necessary\, that these laws are characteristic of the modality of physical necessity\, and that physical necessity is at least a reasonably natural modality. Jonathan Schaffer has argued that something similar is the case for metaphysics: the metaphysical truths are metaphysical laws and are all metaphysically necessary (Schaffer\, 2010). Furthermore\, the truths of metaphysics are characteristic of metaphysical modality and metaphysical modality is highly natural. Against this\, I argue that not all the truths of metaphysics are metaphysically necessary—at least on what I claim is the most natural conception of metaphysical necessity. In particular\, I argue that we should conceive of metaphysical modality as the broadest alethic modality\, and that this modality is subject to a unified logical treatment. The modality itself is thus highly systematic\, even if the truths of metaphysics turn out to be disunified. \nPlease note that this is an online talk on Microsoft Teams which will also be live-streamed in G03 (Edgecliffe).

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Catarina Dutilh Novaes (VU Amsterdam / St Andrews) "How conspiratorial beliefs spread\, and how real conspiracies are concealed"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Recent research on conspiracy theories\, in philosophy as well as in other fields\, has tended to focus on beliefs that are (from a ‘mainstream’ perspective at least) outlandish\, absurd and patently false: QAnon\, Covid-19 vaccines containing traceable microchips\, 9/11 as an ‘inside job’. What is arguably conspicuously absent in much of this literature is a parallel reflection on the existence of real conspiracies. To fill this lacuna\, I adopt an environmental epistemic perspective—where agents are considered in the broader context of epistemic environments and where attentional networks and perceptions of trustworthiness significantly influence the uptake of beliefs in an epistemic community—to explain both how conspiratorial beliefs spread and how real conspiracies can be hidden from the public. I argue that these two kinds of processes are each other’s counterparts\, structurally having much in common. In both cases\, epistemic environments can be ‘engineered’ so as to foster the spread of certain beliefs (regardless of their truth or plausibility)\, or alternatively so as to hide certain facts that conspirators do not want to become widely known.
