SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Cécile Fabre (Oxford)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Edgecliffe G03 \nTitle: The Morality of Gossip \nAbstract: Gossip is pervasive and wide-ranging. It lubricates and wrecks social relationships. Many people openly confess to loving it yet acknowledge that gossiping\, while often gratifying\, is\, if not morally wrong\, at least not quite right. Gossip has not received much attention in moral philosophy. In this paper\, I argue that notwithstanding the fact that gossip often has beneficial effects\, it is often wrong\, on Kantian grounds. To that end\, I first provide an account of the phenomenon of gossip and of its value. I then argue that two fairly standard arguments against gossip do capture some morally problematic features of gossip (to do with breach of trust and deception) but are under inclusive. The deeper underlying worry about gossip\, I go on to claim\, is that it amounts to a particular kind of failure to treat others – be they gossipees or gossipers – as persons.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Ben Sachs-Cobbe (St Andrews)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Edgecliffe G03 and Teams \nTitle: What’s wrong with teaching our children to be good citizens? \nAbstract: Character education is a common part of schooling in the U.S. and U.K.\, and one popular argument in favour of character education is that it is conducive to producing citizens who have the virtues that make someone a good citizen.  But there is an oft-heard objection to the idea that educators should try to inculcate the virtues of citizenship\, namely that doing so serves a conservative agenda.  In this talk I investigate what separates a conservative from an anti-conservative theory of good citizenship\, and conclude that educating children for the virtues of citizenship cannot possibly serve a conservative agenda\, or for that matter any controversial political agenda at all.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online only) – Sally Haslanger (MIT)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Teams (online only) \nTitle: Ideology\, Culture\, and Social Meaning \nAbstract: My aim in this paper is to sketch a conception of ideology that draws on the critical theory tradition. This conception of ideology is a response to a particular challenge for those working on social justice: Why is it that most of us\, most of the time\, act in ways that perpetuate injustice? To begin to answer this question\, I will develop an account\, inspired by Althusser among others\, that embeds ideology in social practices. Social practices enable both human and non-human animals to coordinate fluently and flexibly in response to each other and our environment; and they depend on something like a “language” – a system of signs and signals – that makes socially intelligible agency possible. I call such a framework of meaning and its material apparatus a cultural technē. I go on to argue that Grice’s distinction between natural and non-natural meaning is too coarse to provide us an account of social meaning\, and drawing on Skyrms and others working on signals\, I propose that a cultural technē is a framework or system of signs. I then consider how we might capture the publicity of social meanings in terms that don’t require complex metacognition. I conclude that account of ideology as a cultural technē “gone wrong” provides us the basics of a critical account of ideology. \nYou can read the full paper\, but attendees are not expected to have read the paper in advance.\nCo-hosted with ECT.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online only) – Nancy Fraser (The New School)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Teams (online only) \nTitle: Three Faces of Capitalist Labor: Uncovering the Hidden Ties among Gender\, Race\, and Class \nAbstract: Dissatisfied with identity-based politics\, many activists and intellectuals are now seeking larger paradigms that can unify disparate struggles. Aiming to advance that project\, I propose that labor forms the hidden link between gender\, race\, and class. My inspiration is W.E.B. Du Bois’s claim\, in Black Reconstruction\, that nineteenth century America had two labor movements\, anti-slavery and trade unionism\, which tragically failed to unite. Extending this idea to the present\, I expand it by adding a third. Construing feminism\, too\, as a labor movement\, focused on the work of care\, I argue that that capitalist society relies on three distinct types of labor: exploited\, expropriated\, and domesticated. Their structural entwinement\, I maintain\, constitutes the inner\, systemic ties between gender\, race\, and class.
