Conceptual Engineering Seminar | David Plunkett (Dartmouth) & Tristram McPherson (Ohio State): “Conceptual ethics, metaepistemology, and the foundations of epistemic normativity”
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, ¾«¶«´«Ã½, United Kingdom*** SESSION RESTRICTED TO ARCHÉ MEMBERS *** Abstract. — This paper advertises the importance of distinguishing three different foundational projects concerning the epistemic, which we call normative epistemic inquiry, metaepistemic inquiry, and the conceptual ethics of epistemology. We argue that these projects can be distinguished by their contrasting constitutive success conditions. We argue further that because…

Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Rachel Cooper (Lancaster): “Psychiatric kinds and the DSM: Notes and queries from a conceptual building site”
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, ¾«¶«´«Ã½, United KingdomAbstract. — The DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is a classification of mental disorders. It is published by the American Psychiatric Association and revised by committees of psychiatrists ever fifteen years or so. This talk considers the DSM as a ‘conceptual building site’. For successful conceptual engineering to be possible we would need…

Language and Mind Seminar | Julia Zakkou (Bielefeld)
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, ¾«¶«´«Ã½, United KingdomAbstract: This paper investigates the norm of presupposition, as one pervasive type of indirect speech act. It argues against the view that sees presuppositions as an indirect counterpart of the direct speech act of assertion and proposes instead that they are much more similar to the direct speech act of assumption. More concretely, it suggests…

Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Juliette Kennedy (Helsinki): “On the feasibility of conceptual engineering in logic and (meta)mathematics: A few case studies”
A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, ¾«¶«´«Ã½, United KingdomAbstract. — Precisifications of certain informal concepts could be thought of as instances of conceptual engineering: the concept of a Turing machine (human effective computability), the notion of a Kripke structure (possibility), the Kolmogorov axioms (probability), Tarski’s definition of truth in formal languages, to name just a few. Should we regard the technical notions these formalisms define as…
