SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online) - Katie McShane (Colorado State University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Relational Value: Problems and Prospects \nAbstract: The concept of “relational value” is widely used in the environmental ethics and policy literatures. In this talk\, I will critically assess this use\, considering what relational value might add to our existing value categories and what problems it might produce for our thinking about the value of the natural world. I first discuss the history of the concept: why early authors considered it a necessary addition to other value concepts and which claims about the natural environment they thought it was particularly well positioned to capture. I next discuss criticisms of the concept: that the need for it was demonstrated by misrepresenting other categories of value and that it distorts our thinking about them. Finally\, I consider what would be a fruitful way forward given these concerns.  While the concept of relational value might be here to stay\, we would do well to think more carefully about both its meaning and its use.  \nLocation: Online on teams and streamed in Edgecliffe G03

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person) - Kal Kalewold (Leeds)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Going First: Integration with Compensation as a Duty of Justice. \nAbstract: Racial segregation remains deeply entrenched in many societies such as the United States. (Liberal) integrationists argue that we have a duty to integrate because integration is necessary for racial justice (Anderson 2010). (Egalitarian) pluralists reject a duty to integrate (Shelby 2014\, 2016). They hold that integration impermissibly imposes costs on the disadvantaged. On the pluralist view\, we should instead endeavour to make communities better off however they are spatially distributed. In this talk\, I defend a duty to integrate with compensation. I draw on evidence that has been neglected in the philosophical literature that the costs of integration are differentially distributed across age groups. Compensating those integrating first undermines the foundation of the pluralist objection and vindicates a duty to integrate. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 and online on teams

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person) - Matthew Vermaire (St Andrews)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Conflated Questions in the Ethics of Belief \nAbstract: It’s common to suppose that epistemology can be understood in close structural parallel with ethics: as ethics is about what to do\, epistemology is about what to believe. In this paper I draw attention to an important limit of such parallelisms: in reasoning to belief\, agents are concerned in the first instance not with what to believe but with the uniquely theoretical question of what is the case. I demonstrate the relevance this distinction in questions has for the debate between pragmatists and evidentialists in the ethics of belief\, and I suggest a compromise that I expect no one to like. \n\nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 and online on teams

SUMMARY:CEPPA Climate Ethics Talk (online and in-person) - Jiewuh Song (Seoul National University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Right to a Healthy Environment and the Case of Climate Change \nAbstract: Once regarded as a marginal proposal in international human rights\, the right to a healthy environment has gained surprisingly widespread acceptance in domestic law across the world.  Recently\, the right has become an important part of global climate advocacy\, often anchoring legal arguments for climate action. Yet the status of the right to a healthy environment in international human rights law remains uncertain\, and theoretical suspicion about its justifiability persists.  Using the climate case as an illustrative example and drawing on both human rights theory and recent case law\, I present a justification of the right to a healthy environment as a distinctly useful response to what I call structural threats to human rights\, or widespread and causally opaque threats to the urgent interests that human rights are meant to protect.  This justification helps to guide our thinking about the content and adjudication of the right to a healthy environment. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 and online on teams

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person) - Richard Arneson (UC San Diego)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Democratic Instrumentalism and the Threat of Authoritarianism \nAbstract: The instrumentalism of the title says roughly that the form of governance that would be feasibly best in any circumstances is any one whose establishment and operation would bring about consequences morally no worse than those of any other that might instead be put in place.  I stipulate that the consequences to be assessed exclude any possible noninstrumental value that attaches to all members of the society having an equal vote or equal opportunity for  political influence (EOPI).  This allows\, components of democratic institutions such as protection of  freedom of speech and association do have such value that weighs on the scales.      Authoritarians favoring nondemocracy might be reasonable liberals\, social democrats\, or conservatives.  Does instrumentalism favor democracy always or almost always in our time?  The stipulated exclusion is incorrect if all having equal vote or EOPI really in themselves have noninstrumental value. This exclusion applies only to political power\, not power generally\, but might be supported by a general claim: The distribution of power over others is normatively neutral in itself and matters only insofar as it gives rise to good or bad consequences.  No person has a moral claim to power over others except on the basis\, that person’s having the power will be fair in its effects on those affected.  The discussion surveys relevant arguments advanced by Niko Kolodny\, Daniel Viehoff\, and Jeremy Waldron. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 and online on teams

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk: Eilidh Beaton (Aberdeen)\, "Paying Attention to Global Politics"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe Sudanese civil war has been described as a “forgotten crisis” that the world ought to pay more attention to. Some campaigners object that excess attention on migration is a “distraction” from other important issues. Such calls for cross-border attentional change are a frequent feature of our global political landscape. Yet while philosophers have been paying ever more attention to attention in recent years\, political philosophers have mostly theorised about the role of attention within democratic states. This paper shifts away from the dominant statist framing to develop an account of attention’s significance for global politics. Specifically\, the paper (i) offers an account of who is implicated in calls to better attend to global politics\, (ii) explains how collective failure to attend to global politics can constitute an injustice\, and (iii) develops an account of responsibility to attend to global politics.
