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.
