SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Linda Martín Alcoff (City University of New York)
DESCRIPTION:Event co-Hosted with ECT and FPST. \nTitle: Extractivist epistemologies \nAbstract: This paper (which is very much a work in progress) will develop the concept of extractivist epistemology 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—such 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.\n

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Jennifer Lackey (Northwestern University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Epistemic Reparations and the Right to be Known” \nAbstract: In this paper\, I provide an account of the epistemic significance of the phenomenon of “being known” and the relationship it has to reparations that are distinctively epistemic. Drawing on a framework provided by the United Nations of the “right to know\,” 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—to 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—knowing 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:CEPPA Talk – Thomas Hurka (University of Toronto)
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Against ‘Good For\,’ Against ‘Well-Being'”\n\nAbstract: This paper challenges the widely held view that ‘good for’\, ‘well- being’\, and related terms express a distinctive evaluative concept of central importance for ethics and separate from ‘simply good’ as used by G.E. Moore and others. More specifically\, it argues that there’s no philosophically useful good-for or well-being concept that’s neither merely descriptive in the sense of naturalistic nor reducible to ‘simply good’. The paper distinguishes two interpretations of the common claim that the value ‘good for’ expresses is distinctively ‘subject-relative’. Neither interpretation\, the paper argues\, yields a significantly distinct evaluative concept. The ethically fundamental such concept is just ‘simply good’.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Elizabeth Barnes (University of Virginia)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Ameliorative Skepticism and the Nature of Health \nAbstract: In this talk\, I’ll give a brief overview of the project I call ‘ameliorative skepticism’. Sally Haslanger has argued that\, in doing social ontology\, we can sometimes approach the question ‘what is x?’ by asking question ‘what do we want x to be?’. I argue that sometimes the only way to answer this question is to answer it skeptically: that what we want x to be is something it can’t be. But I suggest that there’s a version of skepticism we can bring to questions like this that is substantially weaker than error theory or eliminativism. I use the case of health as an example.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Rachel Fraser (University of Oxford)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘The limits of ideology critique’ \nAbstract: The tradition of ideology critique promises a lot. It promises to be critical of the existing social order. (Good!) But it promises to generate this critique without appealing to ‘external’ normative standards. In this talk I argue on meta-normative grounds that ideology critique cannot make good on these promises.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Thi Nguyen (University of Utah)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Value Capture \nAbstract: Value capture occurs when an agent enters a social environment which presents external expressions of value — which are often simplified\, standardized\, and quantified — and those external versions come to dominate our reasoning and motivations. Examples include becoming motivated by Twitter Likes and Retweets\, citation rates\, ranked lists of best schools\, and Grade Point Averages. We are vulnerable to value capture because of the competitive advantage that such pre-packaged value expressions have in our reasoning and our communications. But when we internalize such metrics\, we damage our own autonomy. In value capture\, we outsource the process of deliberating on our values. And that outsourcing cuts off one of the key benefits of personal deliberation. When we tailor our values to ourselves\, we can fine-tune them to fit our own particular psychology and place in the world. But in value capture\, we buy our values off the rack.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Lisa Herzog (University of Groningen)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Big Data and the Risk of Misguided Responsibilization\n \nAbstract: The arrival of “big data” promises new degrees of precision in understanding human behavior. Could it also make it possible to draw a finer line between individual choices and circumstances that operate in the background? In a culture in which individual responsibility continues to be celebrated\, this raises questions about new opportunities for institutional design with a stronger focus on individual responsibility. But what is it that can be drawn from big data? In this paper I argue that we should not expect a “god’s eye’s view” on choice and circumstances from big data. “Responsibility” is a social construct that depends on the logic of different social situations\, as well as our epistemic access to certain counterfactuals (e.g. whether an agent “could have acted differently”). It is this epistemic dimension that changes with the arrival of big data. But while it might help overcome some epistemic barriers\, it might also create new problems\, e.g. because of polluted data. This is not just a theoretical problem; it is directly connected to questions about the regulation of the insurance industry\, for which “big data” has been described as a “game changer.” I argue that this development forces us to directly confront questions about mutualist versus solidaristic forms of insurance\, and more generally speaking about how much weight to ascribe to individual responsibility\, given all we know about unequal background circumstances.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Kimberley Brownlee (University of British Columbia)
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: ‘Interactional Wrongs and Vices’\n\nABSTRACT: This paper explores a domain of action that we often regard as a minor moral matter\, the domain of ordinary interactions. Yet\, ordinary interactions are morally significant for two reasons: they are the primary vehicle through which 1) we show respect and disrespect for each other\, and 2) we either grease the wheels or put a spanner in the wheels of healthy human sociability. Interactional ethics concerns both our first-order conduct within a given interaction and our second-order management of our interactional lives. At both levels\, we can act well or badly and thereby do great good\, harm\, justice\, and injustice. This paper homes in on first-order and second-order interactional wrongs. It isolates distinct wrongs that we can do at each of the three key stages of an interaction – the initiation stage\, execution stage\, and conclusion stage – including\, notably\, engage in interactional outsourcing. It then examines specific second-order patterns of wrongdoing – interactional vices – that we can display as we manage our interactional lives.

Marx believed that only part of the working day was required to supply workers’ consumption needs\, the rest going to support the consumption of idle capitalists. John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930 that a fifteen-hour working week was a close possibility\, requiring only that work was spread more evenly across the population. \n  \nAlthough less extreme than Keynes’s vision\, some activists today are campaigning for a four-day working week. The campaign has won some victories\, with the Spanish government launching an experiment with mid-sized companies last year and the Scottish government promising to try something similar. Besides economic questions about labour productivity and marginal returns\, there are deep philosophical questions around the allocation of time to work. We hope to address these in this workshop. Some examples are: \n  \n\nHow do we distinguish labour\, recreation\, and rest?\nShould time spend recuperating between physically exhausting tasks count as rest or part of labour?\nShould activities undertaken to ‘decompress’ after mentally or emotionally taxing work count as recreation?\nAre there important differences between relaxation activities and leisure activities?\nIn his 1966 essay\, “The Abolition of Work”\, Bob Black distinguished work from play in terms of the latter being voluntary – but what is the relevant category of “voluntariness” here?\nWhat about the allocation of domestic and caring labour? How does this play into patterns of gender inequality and other forms of social imbalance?\nIs time the right measure of the balance between work\, leisure\, and rest? What about intensity\, satisfaction\, etc.?\nIs flexibility in working time always a blessing\, or can it be a hidden curse?\nHow should we think about the allocation of working time among the population? Can some groups “steal time” from others? What about the allocation of time across generations?\n\nFor More Information\nAlex Douglas (axd@st-andrews.ac.uk)

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk - Renee Bolinger (Princeton University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Are We Entitled to Be Believed?’ \nAbstract: Discussions in a variety of contexts (including at least epistemic injustice\, moral encroachment\, epistemic obligations of friendship) sometimes assume that speakers have a right or moral entitlement to be believed when they assert or testify that p: that they are wronged if their audience fails to believe them. It is controversial whether rights of this kind are intelligible\, or precisely what their basis is. This talk aims to get clearer on what a “right to be believed” is a right to by working backward: sifting through the various ways of characterizing the justifications we might give for such an entitlement\, and the wrongs suffered when it is violated. I suggest that the best candidate is a claim to appropriate epistemic policies\, which I unpack and sketch at the end of the talk.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk - Jonathan Quong (University of Southern California)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Permissibility of Lesser Evil \nAbstract: \nFlood:   Flood water is headed toward a cave where five innocent people are trapped and will be killed if the water reaches them. The water can be diverted into a mineshaft\, but innocent Betty is trapped in the mineshaft and will be killed if the water is redirected. Albert is a bystander who has seen and understood the whole situation\, and he stands next to a switch that can divert the flood. He can easily flip the switch. \nWhen considering cases like this\, some people believe that Albert is morally required to save the five at the cost of Betty’s life (the requirement thesis). Others believe that Albert is permitted but not required to save the five (the permissive thesis). I argue in favor of the permissive thesis and against the requirement thesis. I conclude by considering some further implications for the ethics of self-defense and war.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Rima Basu (Claremont McKenna College)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Normative Expectations’ \nAbstract: In supplementing the familiar ways that our interpersonal relationships are morally fraught\, recent work in epistemology on doxastic wronging has highlighted how these relationships can be epistemically fraught as well. However\, in focusing predominantly on beliefs— mental states that arguably constitute a small fraction of our mental lives—these theories have their own theoretical blindspots. In this paper\, I expand the scope of analysis to expectations. Typically\, we notice the failures of expectations when we’re the targets of them: when we let our loved ones down. Key indicators of the presence of normative expectations are feelings of disappointment and betrayal. Contexts in which these feelings manifest most vividly involve parents and their hopes and dreams for our lives. Focusing on these contexts\, I argue that normative expectations play three distinctive roles: a predictive role\, a prescriptive role\, and a proleptic role. Each role\, I conjecture\, comes with its own avenue for moral\, epistemic\, and conceptual failure. Ultimately\, in precisifying the heterogeneous class of attitudes that constitute normative expectations\, I reveal just how expansive the ‘doxastic’ in doxastic wronging ought be. \n  \n*** \nThis event is co-hosted with the Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Emmalon Davis (Michigan)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Challenging the Pursuit of Novelty’ \nAbstract: Novelty—understood as the value of saying something new—appears to be a good-making feature of a philosophical contribution. Beyond this\, however\, novelty functions as a marker of philosophical success: contributions that say something new are considered successful\, while contributions that do not say something new are considered unsuccessful. When novelty serves as a marker and metric of success\, the pursuit of novelty becomes an aspirational ideal. This paper challenges the presumption and expectation that a successful philosophical contribution will be a novel one. \nTo do so\, I distinguish two constituent components—novelty as ingenuity/originality and novelty as discovery/priority—which\, taken together\, comprise the aspirational ideal of novelty. I outline a series of traps or pitfalls associated with the practical pursuit of each component part and show that efforts to avoid traps associated with one render philosophers vulnerable to traps associated with the other. I argue that an aspirational ideal of novelty should be rejected\, as the pursuit of each component part is in tension with the other. Throughout my analysis\, I demonstrate that the greatest risks accompanying the pursuit of novelty are unevenly distributed and that an aspirational ideal of novelty disadvantages certain practitioners disproportionately. I conclude that an aspirational ideal of novelty is less desirable and less feasible than it appears. \n*** \nThis event is co-hosted with the Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar. \n

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and Lok Chan (Duke University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Should Responsibility Affect Who Gets a Kidney?’ \nAbstract: About 98\,000 people in the US are waiting for a kidney transplant\, but only around 20\,000 kidneys become available each year. As a result\, doctors sometimes have to decide who gets a kidney. Many people (though few medical providers) hold that\, when two patients need the only available kidney\, and one but not the other is responsible for their own kidney disease\, then the patient who is not responsible should get the kidney\, other things being equal. We report two experiments that reveal what people hold patients responsible for and how responsibility affects how people allocate fault and kidneys. We also discuss some theoretical and practical implications of these empirical studies.
