SUMMARY:Metaphysics & Logic Seminar: Hannes Leitgeb: "On the Difference Semantics for Conditionals"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In my talk I will present a new semantics for conditionals according to which “if A then B“ is true in case (i) the corresponding Stalnaker-Lewis conditional is true\, and (ii) the antecedent A makes a difference to the consequent B. The novely of the semantics consists in the analysis of (ii)\, which is made precise as: the distance between the closest B-worlds and the closest non-B-worlds is smaller than the distance between the closest A&B-worlds and the closest A&non-B-worlds. I will explain how the required ordering of distances between worlds can be captured in non-numerical terms\, what the logic is like that is sound and complete with respect to the semantics\, what a probabilistic version of the semantics looks like\, and why the system is to be preferred over other recent semantics and logics of conditionals that analyse (ii) above differently. \n(This is joint work with Hans Rott.)

SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy Symposium
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, feminist philosophy has become increasingly mainstream\, present and even sought after in many philosophy departments. But this is a recent development\, and still an unevenly distributed one. There are still many philosophers\, and even many departments\, who view feminist philosophy with suspicion\, considering it to be “not really philosophy”. This discussion will explore the period during which feminist philosophers worked to establish feminist philosophy in philosophy departments\, with varying degrees of success \nThe discussion has two starting points: (1) Jennifer Saul’s review of Louise Antony’s Only Natural and (2) Taking Root\, a work in progress edited by Matthew Cull\, Katharine Jenkins\, and Jennifer Saul\, which consists of articles by and interviews with the feminist philosophers who worked to establish the field. Jessica Brown\, Matthew Cull\, Jade Fletcher\, and Jennifer Saul will discuss themes and questions which emerge from this work\, before opening up the discussion to the audience.

SUMMARY:ECT Seminar: Jack Lyons (Glasgow)- Knowing from prosthetic perception
DESCRIPTION:Knowing from Prosthetic Perception \nJack Lyons \nUniversity of Glasgow \n  \nProsthetic perception is perception that is enabled or facilitated by a mechanism designed to generate a type or quality of perception that wouldn’t otherwise be attainable. I mean for the category to include the use of  telescopes\, hearing aids\, sensory substitution devices\, and also fuel and other gauges\, perhaps even psychedelic drugs and virtual or augmented reality. I presume that prosthetic perception can give us knowledge and justified belief—indeed\, this is part of what distinguishes them from “sensory engineering” more generally. Here I want to explore questions of how this knowledge is like or unlike the knowledge associated with ordinary perception. In particular\, I’m interested in two questions about the directness of prosthetic perception: (a) does it provide new knowledge/justification by allowing us to perceive (literally see/hear/etc.) things (objects/properties/events/etc.) that we couldn’t otherwise? And (b) is prosthetic perception inferential in a way that ordinary perception is not? I will also be asking whether and how these two questions are related\, as the answer to the second might well be constrained by the answer to the first. My discussion will be framed in terms of Dretske’s seminal (1969) discussion of nonepistemic\, primary epistemic\, and secondary epistemic seeing\, but also in terms of inferentialism and presumptivism from the recent testimony debate.

SUMMARY:Unity Seminar: Christopher Masterman "How to Explain Composition"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: It is commonplace to think that composition is explained by relations—what I call the relational idea. Many argue that taking this seriously requires rejecting the idea that classical mereology—the most well-known formal theory of parthood—tells us anything important about the nature of composites. In this paper\, I have two aims. First\, I want to explore the extent to which we can take the relational idea seriously without abandoning classical mereology completely. Second\, I want to motivate an interest in a neglected question about composition\, which asks how relations figure in explanations of composition. I argue that by taking this question seriously\, we can better understand the extent to which the relational idea is in tension with classical mereology.

SUMMARY:Plenary Seminar: Pree Jareonsettasin (Cambridge)\, 'Bradwardinian modal contextualism to the rescue'
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: ‘Bradwardinian modal contextualism to the rescue: reconciling divine determinism with creaturely freedom by distinguishing sorts of contingency’. \nABSTRACT: \nIs man free in a world created by God and over which God exercises providence? The fourteenth-century logician-mathematician-theologian Thomas Bradwardine has\, for seven centuries\, been accused of having sacrificed human freedom on the altar of divine providence. He argued that every event occurs\, by unstoppable divine will\, of necessity. Yet he is committed to non-divine moral agents contingently determining their actions. His divine determinism needs a complementarily credible account of contingent action.  \nThe main aim of this paper is to expound Bradwardine’s account of (the modal notion) contingency and trace its consequences for understanding freedom of action. I first set up the reconciliation problem and show three claims: that Bradwardine \n(1)  was\, like David Lewis\, a modal contextualist\, taking the meaning of everyday modal terms to depends on an implicit context (relevant causal facts\, including facts about causal preconditions). \n(2)  defines contingency as a causal concept. Calling an action contingent relates it to its causal circumstances: E is contingent iff given the obtaining of E’s causal preconditions\, E is evitable. \n(3)  distinguishes between two (simpliciter/unrestricted and secundum-quid/restricted) types of contingency. E is contingent simpliciter iff all of E’s causal preconditions obtain and E is evitable. E is contingent secundum-quid iff some of E’s causal preconditions obtain and E is evitable. \nI argue he solves the reconciliation problem through his insight that when our actions are considered to be up to us\, we don’t consider God as their causal agent (even though He is). Accordingly\, our everyday moral-responsibility-relevant use of modal terms is implicitly indexicalised to a domain of causal facts restricted to exclude the causal fact of God’s unstoppable causation of all events. Assume that a free action won’t inevitably occur given the obtainment of its non-divine causal preconditions. It follows\, by Bradwardine’s definition of restricted contingency\, that free action is contingent secundum-quid. \nA significant upshot is that the seven-century-old accusation that Bradwardine’s commitment to theological fatalism entails an error-theoretic account of creaturely freedom is unfounded. His deterministic worldview does not entail holding a proto-Hobbesian/Calvinist/Frankfurtian view of freedom. The future is (metaphysically\, not merely phenomenologically) open\, because our fellow creatures cannot compel us to freely act.

SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: Arianna Falbo (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Zetetic Exclusion: Don’t You Worry Your Pretty Little Head About It \nAbstract: Inquiry is a core part of daily life. However\, inquiring environments—the spaces where we put forth questions\, seek out answers\, and look to others for advice\, guidance\, and support—can be sites of hostility\, distrust\, and outright injustice.This talk considers the dynamics of inquiry under conditions of oppression. Scholarship on epistemic injustice has drawn important attention to how prejudice can prevent one from being appropriately recognized as a credible source of knowledge. However\, discussions of epistemic injustice have tended to overlook inquiry and the influence of prejudice in shaping the conditions under which knowledge is acquired in the first place. We will examine cases of zetetic exclusion: situations where only select members of society have meaningful access to investigate and to learn about important subjects. This gate-keeping of knowledge and information\, I argue\, constitutes a distinctive form of zetetic injustice that is not easily captured by standard accounts of epistemic injustice. Reflecting on these cases helps to reveal important dimensions of epistemic injustice\, especially how one’s capacity to learn\, and to pursue knowledge and other epistemic good\, may be undermined due to prejudice and asymmetric relations of power.

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:Language and Mind seminar: Brice Bantegnie
DESCRIPTION:Title: It’s personal and it’s fine \nAbstract: Believing is something that one does\, or so one might say. Seeing as well. Detecting the edges of objects is not. Believing is a personal state. Seeing as well. Detecting is a sub-personal event or process. The personal/sub-personal distinction is intuitive. In recent papers\, some have argued that it is problematic. I argue that it is not. Two criticisms are that it is not principled (cf. Mason Westfall) and that it potentially stifles the work of cognitive scientists by misdescribing their practices (cf. Robert Rupert.) The personal/sub-personal distinction\, as applied to states\, is a special case of a distinction between the state something is in and the states its parts are in. Further commitments are not necessary and only come down the line. As a consequence\, one can both take it that there is such a distinction in cognitive science and that it puts no external constraint on the activity of cognitive scientists

SUMMARY:CANCELLED FPST Seminar - Clare Chambers (Cambridge)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Respect\, Religion\, and Feminism: Political Liberalism as Feminist Liberalism?\nAbstract: This chapter considers whether political liberalism\, specifically\, can be used for feminist ends. There is significant disagreement among feminists and liberals about the compatibility between their two doctrines. Political liberalism is vulnerable to particular criticism from feminists\, who argue that its restricted form of equality is insufficient. In contrast\, Lori Watson and Christie Hartley argue that political liberalism can and must be feminist. This chapter raises three areas of disagreement with Watson and Hartley’s incisive account of feminist political liberalism. First\, the chapter argues that an appeal to a comprehensive doctrine can be compatible with respecting others\, if that appeal is to the value of equality. Second\, the chapter takes issue with Watson and Hartley’s defence of religious exemptions to equality law. Third\, the chapter argues that political liberalism can be compatible with feminism\, but that it is not itself adequately feminist. The chapter concludes that political liberalism is not enough for feminists.
