SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Thomas Randriamahazaka (University of 精东传媒)
DESCRIPTION:Title: On Beall and Camrud鈥檚 defence of the combinatorial argument for FDE\n\nAbstract:聽In their 2020 paper 鈥淔DE all the way up鈥漒, Beall and Camrud aim to defend a particular combinatorial argument for the paraconsistent and paracomplete logic FDE against a natural objection. The argument\, roughly\, states that\, since logic must consider all possibilities\, it is not enough to have the 鈥楾rue鈥� and the 鈥楩alse鈥� in the correct set of truth-values but there also must be all combinations of these two fundamental truth-values\, namely 鈥楤oth True and False鈥� and 鈥楴either True Nor False鈥�. Including those combinatorial truth-values yields FDE. The objection Beall and Camrud consider consists in the idea that it must be possible to iterate the processus of combining truth-values. The gist of Beall and Camrud鈥檚 defence is that iterating the operation of 鈥榯aking combinations of truth-values鈥� do not change the logic after one gets to FDE.聽 In this talk\, I argue that their defence fails because the formal definition of the operation of 鈥榯aking combinations of truth-values鈥� that they use\, namely Priest鈥檚 positive plurivalence\, fails to deliver FDE when applied to the two-valued matrix of classical logic. Indeed\, I argue\, one must stay consistent in what notion of 鈥榯aking combinations of truth-values鈥� one uses throughout the combinatorial argument and the defence against the objection. One can find\, to my knowledge\, two such notions in the literature: Priest鈥檚 positive plurivalence and Priest鈥檚 general plurivalence. Depending on which one uses\, one find oneself with a combinatorial argument (immune to the natural objection) for Priest鈥檚 logic LP or Oller鈥檚 logic AL. The conclusion of the talk takes the form of a challenge: to defend the combinatorial argument for FDE against the natural objection\, one must find a notion of 鈥榯aking combinations of truth-values鈥� which (a) produces the four-valued matrix of FDE when applied to the two-valued matrix of classical logic and (b) always produces FDE as a logic when iterated starting from the four-valued matrix of FDE. The notion used by Beall and Camrud in their paper satisfies (b) but fails to satisfy (a). By contrast\, I put forward in the talk a natural proposal which satisfies (a) but fails to satisfy (b). This leaves me quite skeptical that the challenge can be met and that any such combinatorial argument for FDE can survive the natural objection.

SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar: Lara Jost
DESCRIPTION:For this session\, Lara Jost will lead a discussion of the second chapter of Myisha Cherry鈥檚 new book 鈥楾he Case for Rage: Why Anger is Essential to Anti-Racist Struggle鈥�. \nTitle: Fitting Fury and Frightful Rage\, Myisha Cherry\nAbstract: Chapter 2 argues that Lordean rage is an appropriate response to racial injustice and is more likely to correctly represent racial injustice than the other variations of rage. The chapter claims that this apt and correct Lordean rage is morally and politically valuable because it not only registers racial injustice but it appreciates justice. Lordean rage says that racial justice is worth having. It also not only marks disvalue\, but it is a way to respond to the value that racial minorities in the United States have. The chapter also explores ways to escape strategic traps set by others to make the outraged doubt their anger and give it up.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Corine Besson (Sussex) 鈥淐arroll鈥檚 Regress\, Guidance and Explicit Representation鈥�
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: What is the nature of one鈥檚 justification to use a logical principle such as Modus Ponens in reasoning? It is widely agreed amongst epistemologists of logic that such justification cannot be internalist. One key reason offered for this view is that internalist accounts of justification are susceptible to Carroll-style regresses. In this talk\, I examine this claim and argue that internalist accounts of justification are not open to such regresses. I further argue that the sorts of externalist accounts of the justification of logical principles typically put forward as alternatives are inadequate.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk 鈥� Thomas Hurka (University of Toronto)
DESCRIPTION:Title: 鈥淎gainst 鈥楪ood For\,鈥� Against 鈥榃ell-Being鈥欌�漒n\nAbstract:聽This paper challenges the widely held view that 鈥榞ood for鈥橽, 鈥榳ell- being鈥橽, and related terms express a distinctive evaluative concept of central importance for ethics and separate from 鈥榮imply good鈥� as used by G.E. Moore and others. More specifically\, it argues that there鈥檚 no philosophically useful good-for or well-being concept that鈥檚聽neither聽merely descriptive in the sense of naturalistic聽nor reducible to 鈥榮imply good鈥�. The paper distinguishes two interpretations of the common claim that the value 鈥榞ood for鈥� expresses is distinctively 鈥榮ubject-relative鈥�. Neither interpretation\, the paper argues\, yields a significantly distinct evaluative concept. The ethically fundamental such concept is just 鈥榮imply good鈥�.

SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Frederik Andersen (University of 精东传媒)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Logical Akrasia \n\nAbstract:聽The aim of this paper is two-fold. First\, it introduces the concept logical akrasia (by analogy to epistemic akrasia). Second\, it discusses how logical akrasia relates to the standards of epistemic rationality\, and in particular\, how logical akrasia might pose a challenge to the tenability of the controversial 铿亁ed point thesis.

SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar: Colin Troesken
DESCRIPTION:Colin Troesken will lead a discussion of Anne Eaton鈥檚 paper聽鈥楢 Lady on the Street but a Freak in the Bed鈥�: On the Distinction Between Erotic Art and Pornography聽(abstract below). \nPlease be aware that the paper includes examples of the sorts of erotic art under discussion. As usual\, the discussion leader will provide a short summary of the paper and we encourage those who have not had time to read the paper in full to still participate in the discussion. \n\n\nTitle:聽鈥楢 Lady on the Street but a Freak in the Bed鈥�: On the Distinction Between Erotic Art and Pornography \n\n\nAbstract:聽How\, if at all\, are we to distinguish between the works that we call 鈥榓rt鈥� and those that we call 鈥榩ornography鈥�? This question gets a grip because from classical Greek vases and the frescoes of Pompeii to Renaissance mythological painting and sculpture to Modernist prints\, the European artistic tradition is chock-full of art that looks a lot like pornography. In this paper I propose a way of thinking about the distinction that is grounded in art historical considerations regarding the function of erotic images in 16 th -century Italy. This exploration suggests that the root of the erotic art/pornography distinction was鈥攁t least in this context鈥攃lass: in particular\, the need for a special category of unsanctioned illicit images arose at the very time when print culture was beginning to threaten elite privilege. What made an erotic representation exceed the boundaries of acceptability\, I suggest\, was not its extreme libidinosity but\, rather\, its widespread availability and\, thereby\, its threat to one of the mechanisms of sustaining class privilege.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar: Alessandra Tanesini (Cardiff) 鈥淭he alleged epistemic significance of silence\, silencing\, and the conversational norm of no silent rejections (NSR)鈥�
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk I examine\, and rebut\, Goldberg鈥檚 (2020) arguments in favour of a conversational norm that would defeasibly entitle linguistic agents to presume that silence indicates assent (NSR). Using evidence from conversational analysis I show that Goldberg is wrong to claim that our linguistic communities de facto conform to this norm in conversation. Instead\, I argue that norms similar to NSR are temporarily enacted by means of exercitive speech acts. If this is right\, and contra Goldberg\, silencing is the function served by these norms rather than a product of NSR鈥檚 misapplication. Finally\, I argue that because of the bounded nature of human rationality\, we would not wish a system of human communication aiming at the epistemic goals of persuasion and the sharing of information to have NSR as one of its norms.

DESCRIPTION:Title: 鈥淓pistemic Reparations and the Right to be Known鈥� \nAbstract: In this paper\, I provide an account of the epistemic significance of the phenomenon of 鈥渂eing known鈥� and the relationship it has to reparations that are distinctively epistemic. Drawing on a framework provided by the United Nations of the 鈥渞ight to know\,鈥� I argue that victims of gross violations and injustices not only have the right to know what happened\, but also the right to be known鈥攖o be a giver of knowledge to others about their own experiences. I show how such victims can suffer epistemic wrongs by being rendered invisible\, vilified or demonized\, or systematically distorted\, and that these ways of not being known demand epistemic reparations. While there are traditional reparations that are epistemic in nature\, such as memorialization and education\, I argue that there is a prior and arguably more important epistemic reparation鈥攌nowing victims of gross violations and injustices in the sense of bearing witness. I conclude by sketching an epistemological picture to underwrite this notion of epistemic reparations\, one that significantly expands the traditional picture by including epistemic duties that are imperfect in nature and concern actions in addition to beliefs.

SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Thomas Ferguson (City University of New York)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Intensional Subject-Matter in Subsystems of Analytic Implication \nAbstract: Although one tends to think of truth or falsity as the predominant semantic feature with which logic is concerned\, a number of logics exist that give the feature of topic or subject-matter equal weight. Just as we expect compositional truth conditions to extend to the entirety of a formal language\, the promise of such topic-sensitive logics requires that conditions on subject-matter are defined over the full language. Past treatments of the subject-matter of intensional connectives (like intensional conditionals) have been relatively coarse and carry with them a number of counterintuitive features. A natural place to start is by examining Kit Fine鈥檚 1986 semantics for Parry鈥檚 logic of analytic implication\, in which the conditionals play either no role鈥攐r a degenerate\, token role鈥攊n the determination of subject-matter. In this talk\, I will present axiomatizations for subsystems of Parry鈥檚 analytic implication in which the subject-matter of the intensional conditional allows a fine degree of control. Given the proximity between Fine鈥檚 1986 semantics and Berto鈥檚 semantics for topic-sensitive intentional modals (TSIMs)\, the framework can be immediately exported to TSIMs. I will conclude by discussing how to derive accounts of the subject-matter of other intensional conditionals\, modal operators\, and TSIMs themselves in this context.

SUMMARY:Language & Mind Seminar: David Bain (Glasgow)
DESCRIPTION:Pain\, Painfulness\, and Evaluation\n\nIn this talk\, I survey the increasingly rich\, contemporary debate about the nature of pain and its unpleasantness.聽 Along the way\, I highlight some of the advantages of my evaluativist view\, and\, against the messenger-shooting objection\, I argue that evaluativism can accommodate the non-instrumental badness of unpleasant pain.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar (joint with CEPPA and FPST): Linda Mart铆n Alcoff (CUNY) 鈥淓xtractivist epistemologies鈥�
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This paper (which is very much a work in progress) will develop the concept of聽extractivist epistemology聽as a way to think through the effect of colonialism on knowing practices. Extractivist epistemologies work analogously to extractivist capitalism: seeking an epistemic resource of some sort鈥攕uch as a piece of pharmacological knowledge held by an indigenous community or rural healer concerning the medicinal potential of a given plant\, or an artifact from an indigenous funeral site. The extractivist approach to knowledge treats this epistemic resource as a piece of knowledge that can be separated from the social context and identities of its origin without epistemic loss. In so doing\, extractivist practices change the items that are abstracted. I will show how this is this is an epistemic problem and not simply an ethical problem.

SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Lorraine Keller (Saint Joseph鈥檚 University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Access Problem for Act-type Theories of Propositions \nAbstract: Recent work on propositions has seen the rise of act-type theories\, according to which propositions are types of cognitive acts that derive their representational and truth-conditional properties from the token cognitive acts of agents. Act-type theories have been gaining traction as part of a rejection of what is called the 鈥楩regean conception鈥橽, a 鈥渢raditional鈥� conception of propositions according to which they are intrinsically representational\, mind- and language-independent abstracta\, while cognitive attitudes such as belief and doubt derive their representational properties from their relation to propositions. Act-type theorists present two main objections to the Fregean conception: \n\n(i) The Explanation Problem: by construing propositions as non-derivatively representational and deriving the representation of the cognitive attitudes from the representation of propositions\, Fregean theories turn truth-apt mental representation into an unsolvable mystery.\n(ii) The Access Problem: by construing propositions as mind- and language-independent abstracta\, Fregean theories make our cognitive access to them an additional unsolvable mystery.\n\nHowever\, in their attempt to evade the difficulties that plague the Fregean conception\, act-type theorists run into problems of their own鈥攎ainly centering around the crucial notion of predication. Peter Hanks has argued that the notion of predication at the heart of Scott Soames鈥� theory cannot explain representation and is incoherent (Hanks 2015: 36-39). And in a recent paper\, Indrek Reiland endorses Hanks鈥� criticism of Soames\, but argues that Hanks鈥� attempt to address objections to his own notion of predication is unsuccessful (Reiland 2019). Reiland offers a modified version of Hanks鈥� view that allegedly succeeds where Hanks鈥� proposed solution fails. I argue that the way Reiland modifies his view leads to a particularly acute version of the Access Problem. I then point out that this is a problem for Hanks and Soames as well\, and that\, by examining the way in which their theories face the Access Problem\, we can see that they are also unable to solve the Explanation Problem.
