SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: Anne Eaton (UIC) - Online
DESCRIPTION:Title: Beyond Speech: Pictures and Oppression \nAbstract: Philosophical work on oppressive forms of expression strongly tends to give verbal and written linguistic expression pride of place. When it comes to pictures\, there is a tendency to either treat them as if they were language – one sees this in feminist work on pornography – or worse\, to ignore pictures altogether when the topic at hand least typically pictorial or typically has a significant pictorial dimension – one sees this in Jason Stanley’s work on propaganda. \nAgainst this linguisticism\, I argue that central and influential forms of oppressive “speech” are in fact pictorial and that to understand how they do their oppressive work\, we must approach pictures as pictures rather than as forms of spoken or written language. In this paper\, I first examine one glaring case of linguisticism\, then say something about what I think is going on here\, and finally briefly examine examples of oppressive pictures and give the outlines of an explanation of how they do their oppressive work. \nPlease note that I will be discussing pictures that glorify and eroticize rape\, and pictures that mock\, shame\, and demean Black persons. I will also mention pictures of lynchings. I will also briefly show some of these pictures\, though not the lynching pictures. I will not leave any pictures up for long because they are triggering or otherwise injurious for many of us. That\, after all\, is part of the point of this paper. I will give warning before I show or mention these pictures.

SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar: Dr Graziana Ciola (Radboud University\, Nijmegen)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Commitment Issues? Nominalism and the Semantics of Empty Terms (In Late-Medieval Logic)\nAbstract: Usually\, the label “Nominalism” evokes sorne kind of ontological parsimony. Ockham’s Razor epitomizes this understanding of Nominalism: “it is pointless to do with more things what can be done with fewer”—or in a later formulation “entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity”. You can be a nominalist about all sorts of things—e.g.\, universals\, abstract items\, states of affairs\, possible or impossible worlds\, and so on. As far as Nominalism goes\, William of Ockham was probably as hardcore as it gets\, both in his ontology and in his semantics.\nOckham’s semantic account became the baseline picture shared by a group of later authors. These logicians embraced Ockham’s broad outlook and approach\, without shying away from even major doctrinal disagreements. Along with Ockham’s general perspective\, they also inherited Ockham’s problems.\nHere\, I am especially interested in the problems that 14th-century nominalists had with handling empty terms\, i.e.\, those terms that do not have—and sometimes cannat have—a referent in the world. Such terms are problematic in medieval logic in general and for post-Ockham nominalist logicians in particular. Sorne of these logicians seemingly do away with ontological parsimony\, buying into all sorts of nonexistent but imaginable referents (imaginabilia)—even those that are intrinsically impossible because they are self-contradictory. The most renowned proponent of this type of view was Marsilius of Inghen. Marsilius’ semantics of empty terms became the standard term of comparison against John Buridan’s just as famous alternative doctrine.\nIn this talk\, I explain the problematic background of empty terms in Aristotelian logic and the additional struggles faced by nominalist semantics. Then\, I compare Buridan’s and Marsilius’ alternative accounts of necessarily empty terms. Is Marsilius committed to a whole lot of nonexistent entities? Does he do so beyond necessity\, pointlessly doing with more things what could be done with fewer? What would this commitrnent amount to? How can it be compatible with being a nominalist?
