This is a notification for: Title: Luke Barnes Title: Fine-Tuning and probability Abstract: My work as a cosmologist has touched on an interesting philosophical problem, on that has been discussed in the philosophical literature. Fine-tuning in physics and cosmology is often used as evidence that a theory is incomplete. Of particular interest is the fine-tuning of the universe for life, which suggests that our universe’s ability to create physical life forms is improbable and in need of explanation by, perhaps, a multiverse. This claim has been challenged on the grounds that the relevant probability measure cannot be justified because it cannot be normalized, and so small probabilities cannot be inferred. I will discuss how fine-tuning can be formulated within the context of Bayesian theory testing (or model selection) in the physical sciences, and how normalizability problems might be avoided.

[SydPhil] Notification: Sarah Sorial @ Wed 31 May 2017 13:00 - 14:30 (Seminars)
This is a notification for: Title: Sarah Sorial The expression of anger in the public sphere What role, if any, does the expression of anger play in public deliberations or public life? In what circumstances is the expression of anger appropriate, if at all, and what does it achieve? Expressions of anger are abundant in public discourse and deliberation. Often, they are in response to some legitimate injustice that has occurred. Yet some expressions of anger seem appropriate, while others do not, even in response to the same event. In this paper, I defend three main claims: first, that expressions of anger can function as a kind of performance in the public sphere; second, that these performances may have an important, albeit, very limited role to play in public deliberations. Third, that expressions of anger should be constrained by two important conditions: first, expressions of anger should carefully and accurately identify the source of the injustice in order to avoid the misattribution of blame for the wrongdoing. Second while it may be justifiable to express anger to communicate that an injustice has occurred, speakers should not advocate for violent retribution in how that wrongdoing is rectified.

[SydPhil] Notification: Declan Smithies @ Wed 24 May 2017 13:00 - 14:30 (Seminars)
This is a notification for: Title: Declan Smithies Affective Experience, Reasons for Action, and Desire What is the role of affective experience in explaining how our desires provide us with reasons for action? When we desire that p, we are thereby disposed to feel attracted to the prospect that p, or to feel averse to the prospect that not-p. In this paper, we argue that these affective experiences – feelings of attraction and aversion – provide us with reasons for action in virtue of their phenomenal character. Moreover, we argue that desires provide us with reasons for action only because they are dispositions to have affective experiences. On this account, affective experience has a central role to play in explaining how desires provide reasons for action.

This is a notification for: Title: David Braddon-Mitchell Personal 'identity' in degrees What if personal ‘identity’ was something that could come in continuous degrees? How would that affect decisions if we had to way up the impact on beings that were, to a different degree, the ‘same’ person as us? I suggest that it supports the idea that personal identity is not an identity relation at all, and that it makes it more clear that a certain amount of conceptual engineering is required around the concept, and that it illuminates the relationship between what I call ‘sticky folk concepts’ - concepts that are part of our mental firmware, and will continue to exist no matter how much engineering we do - and the successor concepts we develop.

This is a notification for: Title: Suzy Kilimister Dignity, Respect, and Cognitive Disability In this talk I examine the moral status of individuals with severe cognitive disability. The key question I focus on is what forms of respect such agents are owed, and on what basis. My goal is to vindicate the claim, commonplace in the philosophy of disability, that there is a meaningful moral difference between individuals with severe cognitive disabilities and non-human animals. Rather than try to vindicate that claim through appeal to the capacities of individuals with severe cognitive disabilities, or to their intimate relationships with other persons, I explore the potential of positing a social kind 'human', to which all human beings belong, and whose members are owed a certain form of respect.

This is a notification for: Title: Tuomas Tahko Where Do You Get Your Protein? (Or: Biochemical Realization) Biochemical kinds such as proteins pose interesting problems for philosophers of science. They can be studied both from the point of view of biology and chemistry, but these different perspectives may result in different classificatory practices. I will examine the tension that such classificatory differences produce. We will see that the reducibility of the biological functions of biochemical kinds to the chemical structures that realize these functions is a key question here. This leads us to a more general discussion of multiple realizability and realization at the biology-chemistry interface. The conclusion is that genuine multiple realizability may be rare at this interface.

Strawson: that we understand what features are required for responsible agency by exploring our attitudes and practices of holding responsible. What is the presumed metaphysical connection between holding responsible and being fit to be held responsible that makes this claim credible? I propose a non-standard answer to this question, arguing for a view of responsible agency that is neither anti-realist (i.e. purely 'conventionalist') nor straightforwardly realist. It is instead ‘constructivist’. On the ‘Scaffolding View’ I defend, reactive attitudes play an essential role in developing, supporting, and thereby maintaining the capacities that make for responsible agency. While this view has relatively novel implications for a metaphysical understanding of ‘capacities’, its chief virtue, in contrast with more standard views, is providing a plausibly defensible account of how so-called responsible agents genuinely deserve to be treated as such.

[SydPhil] Notification: Michael Devitt @ Thu 6 Apr 2017 15:00 - 16:30 (Current Projects)
This is a notification for: Title: Michael Devitt ABSTRACT THE REFERENCE OF PROPER NAMES: TESTING USAGE AND INTUITIONS Michael Devitt and Nicolas Porot Experiments on theories of reference have mostly tested referential intuitions. We think that experiments should rather be testing linguistic usage. This paper has four aims. Substantive Aim (I): to test classical description theories of proper names against usage by “elicited production”. Our results count decisively against those theories. Methodological Aim (I): In response to Martí (2009), Machery et al. (2009) conducted a truth-value judgment test that they claimed tested usage. Martí (2014) disagreed. We aim to investigate this issue. We argue that Machery et al. are right and offer some experimental support for that conclusion. Substantive aim (II): Machery et al. provided evidence that the usage of a name varied, being sometimes descriptive, sometimes not. That would be a damaging discovery for the theory of reference. So our aim was to test usage to see if we replicated this variation. In seven out of eight experiments we did not. Methodological Aim (II): to test the reliability of the folk’s referential intuitions by comparing them with the results of our tests of usage. Past tests led us to predict that we would find those intuitions unreliable. Surprisingly, that is not what we found. Our results suggest that tests of referential intuition are susceptible to unpredictable wording effects, casting doubt on them as effective ways to test theories of reference.

This is a notification for: Title: Michael Duncan Title: On Composite Objects and Their Properties The orthodox view of composition has it that composite objects are numerically distinct from the objects that compose them, taken together or separately. The rival view – composition as identity – says that composite objects are numerically identical to the objects that compose them, taken together. Thus, a chair is, on this view, identical to some atoms arranged in the shape of a chair. I will argue that accepting the orthodox view is more costly than it may initially seem.

[SydPhil] Notification: Karyn Lai @ Wed 29 Mar 2017 13:00 - 14:30 (Seminars)
This is a notification for: Title: Karyn Lai Moral Philosophy and Confucius’ Analects I consider a fundamental question in Confucian scholarship: how do we understand ethics in Confucius’ Analects? Immanuel Kant commented that “Philosophy is not to be found in the whole Orient...Their teacher Confucius teaches in his writings nothing outside a moral doctrine designed for the princes...and offers examples of former Chinese princes...But a concept of virtue and morality never entered the heads of the Chinese. In order to arrive at an idea...of the good [certain] studies would be required, of which [the Chinese] know nothing” (Helmuth von Glasenapp, Kant und die Religionen des Osten, Kitzingen-Main: Holzner verlag, 1954, pp. 105-106, trans. Julia Ching in “Chinese Ethics and Kant,” Philosophy East and West 28.2: 161-172). More recently, comparative philosophers have presented Confucian ethics through the prism of ethical frameworks in Western philosophy including, for example, consequentialist or virtue ethics. I suggest a novel way of reading the Analects: that Confucius’ words should be read non-prescriptively, which has the effect of liberating modern readers from their normative grip. Importantly, this approach to the ancient Chinese text paves the way for a more fruitful engagement with it, allowing us to use it to enhance our own moral learning.

This is a notification for: Title: Nick Smith Problems of Precision in Bayesian Epistemology and Fuzzy Theories of Vagueness A common objection to theories of vagueness based on fuzzy logics centres on the idea that assigning a single numerical degree of truth -- a real number between 0 and 1 -- to each vague statement is excessively precise. A common objection to Bayesian epistemology centres on the idea that assigning a single numerical degree of belief -- a real number between 0 and 1 -- to each proposition is excessively precise. In this talk I explore possible parallels between these objections. In particular I argue that the only good argument along these lines against fuzzy theories of vagueness does not translate into a good argument against Bayesian epistemology.

This is a notification for: Title: Sam Shpall Love and Moral Psychology, or Against Romanticism I question two romantic trends in the philosophy of love. The first is a romantic conception of love's rational status. The second is a fixation on the case of romantic love. I suggest that these trends are connected. In critiquing them, I distinguish love from paradigm emotions, and connect debates about love to venerable philosophical disputes about desire. I also confront some classic worries about rationalistic views: for example, whether they require "trading up" to new loves, cloning old ones, or taking pills to make you happier with the ones you have.

This is a notification for: Title: Jan Sprenger Conditional Degrees of Belief It is a commonplace in epistemology that degrees of belief should track known chances. Various principles (e.g., the Principal Principle) formalize this intuition. It is less clear, however, that the same equality holds for conditional degrees of belief. This paper argues for a suppositional interpretation of conditional degree of belief, which justifies the above equality without relying on substantive chance-credence coordination principles. As a result, our understanding of inductive inference with probabilities has to be changed.

[SydPhil] Notification: Karyn Lai @ Wed 2 Nov 2016 13:00 - 14:30 (Seminars)
This is a notification for: Title: Karyn Lai Learning from examples in Confucius’ Analects: ethics without principles? In Confucius’ Analects, learning from examples is a primary method of cultivation. Confucius himself was a keen observer of humanity (A 5.10) and he urged his followers to observe the actions and behaviours of others in order to learn (A 2.10; 4.17). In this talk, I discuss the dynamics and implications of learning from examples. But, given that examples are episodic, how does a person learn from such episodes to develop her own sense of how best to act in any given situation? I suggest that a number of themes in the Analects point toward a fairly coherent picture of how a person may learn from examples. These examples form a repository of information on the possibilities for action in a range of different scenarios. In concrete situations, a person may draw selectively on her understanding of examples, adapting some elements to a new situation and thereby building her repertoire of possible actions. I then draw together some of these reflections on learning from examples to consider the viability of an ethical way of life cultivated in this way.

This is a notification for: Title: Stephen Gaukroger The Moral and Political Origins of the Philosophy of Science: Whewell versus Mill The philosophy of science as a methodological and epistemological discipline emerged in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. It was prompted not by developments in science or in epistemology as such, however, but rather by new and unprecedented claims to scientific standing in what were termed the moral sciences, particularly ethics, in the form of consequentialism, and politics, in the form of Ricardian political economy. In this talk I look at the rise of philosophical investigation into the nature of science in England, as manifested in two projects. The first, that of William Whewell, set out a comprehensive philosophy of science designed to avoid the naturalization of the humanities. The second, that of John Stuart Mill, was initially concerned with political questions, but Mill came to realize that he needed to devise a comprehensive philosophy of science to counter that of Whewell if he was to be convincing in this. At the core of these two competing philosophies of science was the question of how science could be conceived in such a way that morality could be shown to have the same level of objectivity as the established sciences.

This is a notification for: Title: Alex Sandgren Title: A New Theory of Intentional Identity Abstract: There is intentional identity when attitudes have a common focus, whether or not there is an object at that focus. For instance, there is intentional identity when two beliefs are about London and when two beliefs are directed at the same witch. Theories of intentional identity are accounts of when and why intentional attitudes have a common focus in this sense. In this talk, I present a new theory of intentional identity, the triangulation theory, and argue that it has some major advantages over its principal rivals.

This is a notification for: Title: Robert Stern A Gift or Given? The Role of Life in Løgstrup's Ethics This paper looks at the ethics of the Danish philosopher and theologian K. E. Løgstrup (1905-1981). It explores what may seem to be a tension in Løgstrup's thinking, which is that on the one hand Løgstrup says he wants to develop an ethics 'in a purely human manner', while on the other his fundamental claim that 'life is a gift' may strongly suggest a theological interpretation, namely that ethics only makes sense if one thinks life has been given to us by God. This paper sets out to resolve this tension, by examining what notion of 'gift' is required by Løgstrup's account of the ethical demand. It is argued that this position does not require us to think that life is created, but only that is is 'given' as something we do not create for ourselves. In this way, it is argued, Løgstrup can maintain his ethics in a stable secular form.

[SydPhil] Notification: Nikk Effingham @ Thu 1 Sep 2016 15:00 - 16:30 (Current Projects)
This is a notification for: Title: Nikk Effingham Title: Time Travel and Torturing Nikk Effingham Abstract: As I’m about to present this paper, a time travelling DeLorean from the future appears and I stumble out of it. Delirious, and suffering from radiation poisoning, I tell you that you are all doomed as nuclear war will break out next week. I then die at the feet of my earlier self. We are all distraught. We are staunch adherents of David Lewis when it comes to time travel – we are Ludovicians. Ludovicians believe that time cannot be changed in the sense that you cannot go back in time and kill your grandfather nor, as is the case here, can you escape a nuclear war by using a time machine and then try and stop the war. What will be, will be. But behind my back a Professor whispers a plan: you’ll kidnap me and hide me away; you’ll torture me until I’m mad; you’ll make me think a nuclear war has taken place when actually it’s all sunshine and joy in the outside world; you’ll poison me with polonium; finally, you’ll bundle me into a time travelling DeLorean to go back and tell everyone what I, erroneously, think will happen. Is it rational to do this? I argue that, in fact, it is.

[SydPhil] Notification: Brian Hedden @ Thu 25 Aug 2016 15:00 - 16:30 (Current Projects)
This is a notification for: Title: Brian Hedden Title: Reasons, Coherence, and Group Rationality Abstract: What beliefs ought a group to have? A widespread presupposition is that group-level beliefs should be a function of the beliefs of the group's members. A host of impossibility theorems show that no such aggregation function can satisfy intuitively attractive constraints while ensuring coherent group-level beliefs. I argue that this presupposition is false. Group-level beliefs should be a function of group-level evidence, not individual-level beliefs. This allows for a theory of group rationality that (i) bypasses a host of pessimistic results in the literature on judgment aggregation and (ii) treats rational individual-level attitudes and rational group-level attitudes in parallel.

This is a notification for: Title: Jun Otsuka Title: A model-theoretic approach to the species problem Jun Otsuka (Kobe University) In this talk I propose a novel approach to the species problem, which identifies a biological species as a model of a scientific theory. Various species concepts are then understood as models, defined as set-theoretic entities, for different theories, such as that of the first order predicate logic, linear algebra, probability theory, or the causal graph theory. The approach emphasizes that the species problem is not a metaphysical exercise or conceptual analysis, but rather is and should be grounded on our best theory of what the biological world is like. On this ground and the recent advance in the evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo), I support the causal concept of species, arguing that species are best understood as models of the causal graph theory.

[SydPhil] Notification: Kathryn Tabb @ Wed 10 Aug 2016 13:00 - 14:30 (Seminars)
This is a notification for: Title: Kathryn Tabb Mad Persons and Fatal Errors: Locke’s Account of Personal Identity in Context Locke’s account of personal identity has been criticized for allowing that if a person does not remember an action, he or she will not be held accountable for it on the day of final judgment. Since personhood is dependent on consciousness, an event done by the same human being need not be done by the same person if he or she is not conscious of having committed the act. Moreover, Locke’s account seems to allow for another unintuitive result: if someone is conscious of having done an action he or she is responsible for it, even if its clear his or her organism could not actually have committed it. Locke’s apologists have attempted, via textual interpretation, to extricate the theory from these unappealing consequences. I argue instead that Locke’s chose to bite these bullets. Nonetheless, his theory of personal identity still offers an ethically substantive account of reward and punishment. Using the contrast class of the madman — whose freedom is overtaken, in Locke’s view, by associated ideas — I illustrate that for Locke when ideas are not annexed to the consciousness via active perception, they do not contribute to the constitution of the person. This is because personhood is meant to track those ideas for which we are responsible, that is, which we obtain through the labor of the understanding. Based on this framework I offer a reading of Locke’s infamous “fatal errors” passage (Essay 2.27.13), showing that the apparent fallacy can be resolved once we recognize that Locke’s forensic notion of the person is intended to track our liability for our moral notions, which we must work to monitor and which can be mitigated by madness.

This is a notification for: Title: Alexander Grossman Title: "Conciliationism and Debunking: A Response to Bogardus" Abstract: Proponents of evolutionary debunking arguments think that the facts of evolution suggest that if moral realism is true, our moral beliefs do not constitute knowledge. Tomas Bogardus has proposed the Argument from Symmetry, a specific evolutionary debunking argument motivated by conciliationism about peer disagreement, on which the rational response to a certain sort of disagreement is to give up the disputed belief. According to Bogardus, the Argument should worry proponents of 'Representationalism,' who believe that all of our moral beliefs are formed on the basis of a mental intermediary like sentiment or gut feeling. Supposedly well-positioned to respond to the Argument are proponents of 'Rationalism,' who believe that at least some of our moral beliefs are formed on the basis of a direct apprehension of the moral truth. Bogardus has identified a plausible way of spelling out the evolutionary threat to moral realism, but has misjudged its power: as I will argue, if the Argument succeeds against Representationalism then it succeeds against Rationalism.

This is a notification for: Title: Colin Klein Title: Prediction, explanation, and cognitive ontology Abstract: Yarkoni and Westfall have recently argued that cognitive neuroscience focuses too much on explanation at the expense of prediction. Advances in machine learning have made available powerful predictive tools, they claim, and we can use those tools to develop cognitive constructs that will be more useful for cognitive neuroscience. I disagree. Insofar as an ontological project is revisionary, it must focus on explanation (even at the expense of prediction). I show that this disagreement illuminates a heretofore implicit disconnect between how cognitive neuroscientists and philosophers think of the so-called problem of "cognitive ontology." I illustrate the point by discussing recent work on decoding words from whole-brain activation data. Time permitting, I will also have many things to say about the interpretations of double dissociations, and will continue a long-running streak of connecting neuroimaging to stuff that Paul Meehl said in the mid-1950s.

This is a notification for: Title: Matthew Hammerton A Trilemma for Deontology All deontological moral theories are committed to agent-centered constraints. In this paper I argue that agent-centered constraints, as standardly formulated, are ambiguous and have three distinct interpretations. Thus, a deontologist must clarify which of these three interpretations her theory endorses. However, I argue that once we sift through the various options we discover a trilemma for deontology. The deontologist must either accept that: (i) deontological constraints are maximizing-state rules, or (ii) deontological constraints give no moral advice in cases where commonsense morality expects moral advice, or (iii) deontology adopts a counterintuitive decision procedure as a contrary-to-duty obligation. I argue that each of these options is a tough bullet to bite.

This is a notification for: Title: Brian Hedden (Sydney) Title: Individual Time Bias and Social Discounting Abstract: Consider two questions about appropriate attitudes to time: Within a single life, is it permissible to weight the well-being of one's near future selves more heavily than one's farther future selves? And as a society, is it permissible to weight the well-being of near-future people more heavily than farther future people? While many economics and philosophers have suggested that these two questions are independent, so that our answer to one does not tightly constraint our answer to the other, I argue that they should be treated in parallel, so that individual time-bias is permissible if and only if social discounting is permissible.

This is a notification for: Title: Adam Hochman Were the Middle Ages 'Raced'? A Problem for Social Constructionism About Race Abstract There is widespread agreement in the humanities that 'race' is modern and that 'race' is social. I argue that these two consensus positions are incommensurable. If 'race' is social, rather biological, then it is not modern. One of the consensus positions will need to be abandoned. I argue that it is the social consensus--social constructionism about race--which ought to go. Race is best understood as a modern biological concept which fails to refer. I suggest that the groups social constructionists call 'races' should be understood as 'racialized groups'.

[SydPhil] Notification: Dominic Murphy @ Thu 10 Mar 2016 15:00 - 16:30 (Current Projects)
This is a notification for: Title: Dominic Murphy Brains and Beliefs Eliminative arguments have typically moved from the premise that something is horribly unscientific about folk psychology to the conclusion that it should all be swept away and replaced with neuroscience. But there is no need for the replacement theory to be non-psychological. The perspective I argue for suggests that we think of eliminativism as a revisionary doctrine, not a revolutionary one; a reformulated cognitive psychology can still play a crucial role in describing and explaining the subject matter of the cognitive sciences. But that scientifically reformed psychology should play the role that folk psychology is often awarded in the integrationist picture that sees psychology as the topmost in a hierarchy of levels of explanation. The integrationist perspective is unstable. Folk psychology is not scientifically worthwhile, but philosophy of mind can play an important role in establishing its contours, and we should not expect folk psychology to disappear as a part of our self-understanding.

This is a notification for: Title: Marilynn Johnson Systems of Dress: A Gricean Proposal for Communication by Bodily Adornment ABSTRACT: One of the purposes our bodies serve is as a surface on which we place adornments that convey certain meanings to those around us, such as, 'I am a police officer', 'I am the queen', and 'I protest the war in Vietnam'. In this talk I will argue that communication through adornment of the body is best understood as a branch of philosophy of language, and, in particular, within a Gricean theory of meaning. This argument begins with discussion of a previous study of meaning in bodily adornment undertaken by Roland Barthes working in the Saussurean, semiotic tradition. I argue that Barthes' attempt fails for the same reason many theories of linguistic meaning failed: they treat meaning as the result of a system of codes - an assumption that leads to theories that can never fully explain communication. I take Barthes' attempt as an indication that dress should be treated instead as a fundamentally Gricean, intentional process, with meaning first delineated into Grice's categories of natural, and non-natural meaning, as well as a new category I will introduce: 'imitation of natural meaning'. I present specific cases to show how these categories apply to meaning in dress. In the course of this argument I will defend the Gricean picture that ties meaning to intentions from a number of objections.

[SydPhil] Notification: Alison Fernandes @ Thu 29 Oct 2015 15:00 - 16:30 (Current Projects)
This is a notification for: Title: Alison Fernandes The Trouble with Epistemic Freedom When we deliberate about what to do, we appear free to decide on different options. David Velleman uses 'epistemic freedom' to explain this apparent freedom. The idea is that while deliberating we can justifiably form a variety of beliefs about what we'll do, unconstrained by our evidence. Why? Because the relevant beliefs are self-fulfilling--they bring about their own truth. These beliefs constitute decisions, and so explain our freedom to decide. But there are serious problems with Velleman's account. Firstly, agents turn out to have epistemic freedom even over beliefs formed on the basis of evidence. Secondly, agents are not justified in forming beliefs unconstrained by evidence--and so such justification can't explain apparent freedom.

[SydPhil] Notification: Alison Fernandes @ Thu 29 Oct 2015 15:00 - 16:30 (Current Projects)
This is a notification for: Title: Alison Fernandes The Trouble with Epistemic Freedom When we deliberate about what to do, we appear free to decide on different options. David Velleman uses 'epistemic freedom' to explain this apparent freedom. The idea is that while deliberating we can justifiably form a variety of beliefs about what we'll do, unconstrained by our evidence. Why? Because the relevant beliefs are self-fulfilling--they bring about their own truth. These beliefs constitute decisions, and so explain our freedom to decide. But there are serious problems with Velleman's account. Firstly, agents turn out to have epistemic freedom even over beliefs formed on the basis of evidence. Secondly, agents are not justified in forming beliefs unconstrained by evidence--and so such justification can't explain apparent freedom. Underlying these troubles, Velleman's account turns out to presuppose a primitive form of agent freedom--of a kind strikingly illustrated in the work of the German Idealist Fichte. More generally, I'll argue, Fichte's attempt to unify practical and theoretical reason makes him an insightful figure for this contemporary debate.

[SydPhil] Notification: Caroline West @ Thu 22 Oct 2015 15:00 - 16:30 (Current Projects)
This is a notification for: Title: Caroline West Persons, Stages, Autonomy and Group Rights A common position in liberal circles is that individuals have a right to autonomy, but group rights are unjustified. I suggest that this package implicitly relies on a controversial endurantist account of personal identity. Many contemporary metaphysicians favour a different, four-dimensionalist account, according to which persisting persons are collections of numerically distinct time slices. If a four-dimensionalist account of personal identity is correct, exercises of individual autonomy and exercises of group authority appear metaphysically on a par: each involves relations of domination among numerically distinct person-stages, justified by a unity relation. This raises an interesting challenge for liberals. Supposing that four-dimensionalism is true, what--if anything--justifies attributing a right to autonomy to individuals, while denying it to groups? I explore some possibilities; none of which seem entirely satisfactory.

[SydPhil] Notification: Michael Duncan @ Thu 10 Sep 2015 15:00 - 16:30 (Current Projects)
This is a notification for: Title: Michael Duncan Hume's Dictum and the Notion of Logical Entailment In A Treatise of Human Nature David Hume says, "There is no object, which implies the existence of any other if we consider these objects in themselves, and never look beyond the ideas which we form of them" (Book I, Part III, Section VI). This is known as Hume's Dictum, and is often glossed as the claim that there are no metaphysically necessary connections between distinct (intrinsically typed) objects. It has been argued (by e.g., Daniel Stoljar and Jessica Wilson) that, taken at face value, Hume's Dictum is false; for there appear to be clear counterexamples to it. One such counterexample is a composite object and its proper parts. That a chair with certain properties exists, for instance, seems to entail that certain other objects (some chair legs, perhaps) exist. However, I will argue that this is a case in which appearances are misleading: there are, and can be, no necessary connections between distinct objects. More specifically, I will argue that Hume's Dictum is a conceptual truth, and that we therefore need to rethink the supposed counterexamples. My argument for this conclusion will rest on the claim that logical entailment should be understood in terms of containment.

This is a notification for: Title: Helen Beebee AGENT PROBABILITIES AND FREE WILL Evidential decision theorists -- and some causal decision theorists -- hold that we need to conceive agents as ascribing probabilities to the prospective alternative actions about which they are deliberating. But those probabilities must not be constrained by any facts about the past: the agent must conceive her prospective action as 'an ultimate and the only ultimate contingency', as Ramsey put it. Unfortunately, however, existing accounts of what agent probabilities are supposed to be -- and how they are supposed to override or render otiose what seem to be perfectly reasonable credences that violate this independence requirement on agent probabilities -- are unsatisfactory. I'm going to try and do a bit better.

The second is a view often traced to Bertrand Russell, that there is no basis for causal notions in physics. The tension arises not because these views themselves are outright inconsistent, but rather because the primary argument for physicalism today is an empirical one, an argument resting on the accumulation of microphysical causal explanations for a diverse range of phenomena. The question is how to reasonably be a physicalist if one believes there isn't microphysical causation. I examine two natural strategies for resolving the tension.

[SydPhil] Notification: Brandom Warmke @ Thu 6 Aug 2015 15:00 - 16:30 (Current Projects)
This is a notification for: Title: Brandom Warmke Forgiving and Forswearing Resentment Abstract: In contemporary philosophical discussions of forgiveness, it is generally agreed that there is an inextricable link between forgiving and resentment. What is the nature of this link? This has been a matter of some dispute, but one way of forging the link involves the claim that forgiveness crucially implicates the forswearing of resentment (e.g., Strawson 1962, Murphy 1988, Griswold 2007, Bash 2011). In this paper, I articulate a number of accounts of the phenomenon of forswearing resentment. I then argue that on each of these accounts, it is implausible to hold that forgiving requires forswearing resentment. I conclude that, contrary to popular belief, one need not forswear resentment in order to forgive.

This is a notification for: Title: Avery Kolers, Louisville A Deontological Theory of Solidarity In this paper I argue that solidarity is justified not (teleologically) by the goods it brings about, but rather deontologically, in terms of the affirmation of another's agency. Solidarity is thus justified when the agent aligns her/himself with the demands of the least well-off. So understood, solidarity is a form of equitable treatment, where equity is understood in three specific ways: Kantian equity is treating people in accord with basic justice; Aristotelian equity is departing from general principles to respond to people's particular circumstances; and being an equitable person is standing down from the most that one can demand in order to share the fate of the other. Since treating others equitably is a perfect duty, such solidarity is a perfect duty. And since equitable treatment is an ultimate value, such solidarity is intrinsically, not merely instrumentally, valuable. **Please note the seminar will take place in Oriental Room S204 Level 2 (Ground Level), Lobby B (Southern Vestibule), Main Quadrangle When: Wed 3 Jun 2015 13:00 - 14:30 Eastern Time - Melbourne, Sydney Where: Oriental Room S204, Level 2 (Ground Level), Lobby B (Southern Vestibule) Main Quadrangle Calendar: Seminars Who: * Dalia Nassar- creator Event details: https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=VIEWeid=ZTluanJjMzdyazRvdWVjYXJldWxvamV2MWMgMm1lN2M3ZnIzb21wbDRyaHZrcG1sYTUzNjhAZw Invitation from Google Calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/ You are receiving this email at the account sydphil@arts.usyd.edu.au because you are subscribed for notifications on calendar Seminars.

This is a notification for: Title: Mark Colyvan Crime, Punishment and Specific Evidence Mark Colyvan (University of Sydney) and Katie Steele (London School of Economics) Abstract: Various real and imagined criminal law cases provoke the intuition that there is something wanting with purely statistical evidence in the courtroom (i.e. the appeal to the frequency of properties in a sample population, whose members are similar to the person of interest). But in the cases in question, the probabilities of guilt or culpability are very high--high enough to meet the relevant standard of evidence. This problem is known as the 'proof paradox'. An oft-expressed position is that legal verdicts should be based on 'specific' rather than 'general' evidence of guilt. But it is unclear what this distinction amounts to. Moreover, we need to know whether general evidence is supposedly problematic for epistemic or for moral reasons. We argue that, all other things being equal, moral considerations should not influence the import of legal evidence. And given the salient ways of distinguishing specific and general evidence, there is no good epistemic reason for down grading the latter. Finally, we argue that in the problem cases, the statistical evidence is indeed wanting but the deficiency in question is epistemic, not moral, in character.

This is a notification for: Title: Robert Sinnerbrink, Macquarie Gangster Film: Cinematic Ethics in The Act of Killing This paper is part of a project on 'cinematic ethics': the idea of film as a medium of ethical experience, one with the power to evoke critical reflection through emotional engagement and aesthetic involvement. Although film can be used for moral pedagogy (or for political propaganda), it can challenge our moral assumptions, dogmatic beliefs, and ideological convictions, forcing viewers to see their world in more psychologically nuanced, socially complex, and ethically confronting ways. This ethical capacity of cinema is particularly evident in the documentary or non-fiction film. Far from assuming a transparent or veridical relationship between cinematic image and documentary evidence, contemporary filmmakers have explored the possibilities of non-fiction film to include fictional elements, to question the constructed nature of images, and to investigate the dialectical complicities between filmmaker, subject, and spectator. All of these elements are at play in one of the most confronting and original non-fiction film in recent years, Joshua Oppenheimer's The Act of Killing (2012). It explores the ongoing legacy of Indonesia's state-sanctioned death squads, who killed over a million alleged Communists and ethnic Chinese following the military coup of 1965. An extraordinary fusion of reflexive 'perpetrator documentary' and cinematic investigation of the traumatic effects of political violence, The Act of Killing focuses on the perspectives of a number of 'gangster killers' involved in the 1965-66 massacres, men who are not only treated as heroes by their community, freely boasting about their past, but are filmed making their own fictional movie re-enactments of their crimes. Its provocative, self-reflexive exploration of the intersection between cinema, violence, and politics, makes Oppenheimer's meta-cinematic documentary experiment a uniquely challenging case study in cinematic ethics.

This is a notification for: Title: Edward Jeremiah, Melbourne Knowledge as a state of the properly integrated self. A defence of the Socratic paradox that no one errs willingly. Socrates' claim that no one makes willing and knowing moral mistakes has been consistently criticised for its allegedly flawed intellectualism. Knowing right from wrong, the argument goes, in no way necessitates moral action. I will defend the paradoxes against this criticism, developing a line of interpretation implicit in Plato's text and the work of other Platonists which also has good experimental support from contemporary psychology. Basically I will try to show that the assertion I knew what I was doing was wrong at the time I was doing it (which the Socratic principle implies can never be true) involves a problematic identification of the subject I, and that true ethical knowledge cannot be instantiated in a disintegrated self.
