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.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online only) – Jason Brennan (Georgetown)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Teams (online only) \nTitle: Laissez-Faire Democracy? Reasons to Regulate Votes \nAbstract: Most economists and political philosophers accept a simple argument for empowering governments to regulate citizens’ and private firms’ economic activity: Markets\, they say\, suffer from various market failures. In many such cases\, governments can correct or prevent these market failures through various interventions and regulations. The expected benefits of intervention exceed the expected costs. Therefore\, governments should intervene. We contend that this kind of argument works in defense of having governments regulate citizens’ votes and voting behavior as well. We start with a brief survey of the standard defenses of market regulation. We then show that voting behavior suffers from the same problems that afflict market behavior and suggest that these problems give rise to an equally strong presumptive case for government regulation of voting behavior as for market behavior. Next\, we sketch several proposals for how to regulate votes. From here\, we address three central objections: it is impermissible in principle to regulate votes\, vote regulation is unnecessary because voting itself is a form of regulation\, and no institution could be trusted to regulate votes. We conclude that none of these objections succeed and that the presumptive case for vote regulation stands. \n

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online only) – Shelly Kagan (Yale)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Teams (online only) \nTitle: “Death\, Deprivation\, and Rational Regret” \nAbstract:  Is death a bad thing? According to the deprivation account\, death is bad because the dead don’t get the various goods that they would have if only they were still alive. But it’s not normally a misfortune when a merely possible good doesn’t come your way. Bill Gates didn’t write you a check for a million dollars today\, but it would be silly to be upset at that. So how can death actually be bad? This talk will explore a promising answer.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online only) – Heather Battaly (University of Connecticut)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Teams (online only) \nTitle: Can Fanaticism be a Liberatory Virtue? \nAbstract: Quassim Cassam (2022a) and Paul Katsafanas (2019) have argued that fanaticism and extremism are normatively negative concepts—characterized by\, e.g.\, perverted ideals\, vicious closed-mindedness\, and unwarranted intolerance. I suggest an alternative approach that: (i) explains what makes fanaticism and extremism vicious in the very many cases in which they are; but also (ii) allows for cases in which fanaticism and extremism aren’t liberatory-vices and may even be liberatory-virtues. My hope is that this approach might serve as a resource for those in liberatory struggles.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online only) – David Boonin (University of Colorado Boulder)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Teams (online only) \nTitle: Two Puzzles About the Ethics of Divestment \nAbstract: Suppose you own stock in Acme Corp. and you learn that it consistently acts in seriously immoral ways. What should you do? A common answer maintains that owning stock in Acme Corp. makes you complicit in its immoral behavior and that you should therefore divest yourself of it. But as Steven M. Cahn has argued\, there seems to be something puzzling about this answer. If you sell your stock to someone\, then they will own it. If it’s wrong to own the stock\, then they’ll be doing something wrong. So if you divest yourself of the stock\, you’ll be helping someone do something wrong. But it seems wrong to help someone do something wrong. So how can a company’s immoral behavior make it wrong for you to own stock in the company but not make it wrong for you to get rid of the stock by selling it to someone else? In this talk\, I will present two versions of Cahn’s divestment puzzle and explain the reasoning that leads to each of them. I will then discuss the published responses that have appeared since Cahn first presented the puzzle and argue that none of them succeed as solutions to either version. I will conclude by defending an alternative response to the puzzle.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online) – Zoë Johnson King (Harvard)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Working on Yourself\n\nAbstract: This is a thesis-antitheses-synthesis kind of talk. We begin with a question: How should one react to one’s own moral achievements and moral failures\, and to the moral achievements and moral failures of other people? One answer that might seem initially compelling is that we should be harsher on ourselves than we are on others: we should be modest about our own moral achievements while celebrating others’ moral achievements\, and we should show more leniency in response to others’ moral failures than in response to our own. As compelling as this answer might seem\, a smorgasbord of recent trends in popular moral thought push back against it in various ways\, and it paints an odd picture of how good people are supposed to talk to each other. That’s the thesis and its antitheses. The synthesis is the central idea of this talk: the idea of working on yourself. I’ll say what working on yourself is and why it matters morally\, and I’ll also introduce the idea of a deliberate self-improvement\, which is my name for what you bring about when you try to work on yourself and succeed. With these two notions in hand\, I’ll argue that the initially-compelling answer and its intuitive counterphenomena can all be accommodated by an account that emphasizes the importance of not only working on yourself\, but also encouraging and facilitating others’ work on themselves\, all while recognizing the enormous diversity of impediments to their doing either of these that particular individuals might encounter. We’ll see that some apparent self/other asymmetries have solid metaphysical or moral underpinnings\, while others dissolve. I’ll then discuss some cool upshots and one remaining deeper puzzle; in brief\, the puzzle concerns whether we should prioritize working on ourselves over supporting others’ work on themselves and\, if so\, what could explain this division of labor.\nCo-hosted with ECT.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) - Jules Holroyd (Sheffield)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Edgecliffe G03 \nTitle: Proleptic Praise \nAbstract: What is praise? I argue that we can make progress by examining what praise does. Functionalist views of praise are emerging\, but I here argue that by foregrounding cases in which expressions of praise are rejected by their direct target\, we see that praise has a wider\, and largely neglected\, social function. First I introduce cases in which praise is rejected. Then\, I identify a series of desiderata for an analysis of praise by bringing these cases into contact with existing views about what praise is and does. Finally I develop a functionalist account and show how it can meet these desiderata. In outline\, my claim is that one key function of praise is to exert social pressure by bestowing esteem. I tease out some mechanisms via which praise exerts social pressure\, and is particularly difficult to challenge. This analysis is responsive to\, and places at the foreground of our analysis\, the possibility that praise can be used for bad and oppressive ends. \nCo-hosted with ECT.
