SUMMARY:2024 Knox Lecture - Elizabeth Anderson (University of Michigan)
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Categorical Inequality and the Economy of Esteem”\n\n\nAbstract: Social theorists have had considerable empirical success in modeling social hierarchy in terms of “categorical inequality.” In this framework\, entire social groups enjoy superior power\, social esteem\, and wealth over other groups: aristocrats over commoners\, men over women\, blacks over whites in the U.S.\, Brahmins over Dalits in India\, etc. Theorists of “intersectionality” challenge such simple models by noting that everyone has multiple social identities that have non-additive interactions. This fact upsets attempts to reduce all inequalities to a linear system of social stratification. I shall argue that\, once we incorporate Rousseau’s argument that the desire for superior esteem drives the creation of social hierarchy\, even intersectional theories fail to capture the myriad ways social inequality resolves into much finer-grained social inequalities. I discuss some of the normative implications of these facts. Among these are that “privilege” frames (e.g.\, “white privilege”) are not just inaccurate and politically self-defeating\, but grant far too much credence to the inegalitarian ideologies deployed to rationalize the very hierarchies that privilege frames aim to discredit. Rousseau had a better idea: to persuade people that even the purported winners of hierarchical systems ultimately become losers\, because such systems have no internal brakes against ever-rising inequality.\n\n\nA recording is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DflT8ty82I

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Jennifer Morton (University of Pennsylvania)
DESCRIPTION:Title: An Agential Account of Poverty \nAbstract: Poverty has traditionally been conceived as a state of deprivation. To be poor is to lack something that is essential to human flourishing. How that something is conceived—in terms of welfare\, resources\, or capabilities—and how it is to be measured—in absolute terms or as relative to a social standard—has been the subject of much debate within development circles. Though many philosophers have written about our obligations to the poor\, relatively little philosophical attention has been devoted to thinking of poverty as a phenomenon ripe for philosophical analysis. In this paper\, I put forward a theory of poverty rooted in the philosophy of action. I argue that to be poor is to be in a context in which an agent’s capacity for long-term deliberation is systemically undermined by rational pressure to engage in efficient short-term deliberation. In other words\, to be poor is to have to constantly turn one’s mind to the immediate satisfaction of current needs and desires at the expense of deliberating about the pursuit of long-term projects and ends that one deeply values.

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 - Jesse Tomalty (University of Bergen)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Discrimination at the Border\nAbstract: In selecting among prospective immigrants\, it is widely accepted that states are morally permitted to differentiate on the basis of skill. By contrast\, differentiating among prospective immigrants on the basis of (perceived) traits such as race\, ethnicity\, or religion is widely held to amount to wrongful discrimination. I argue that these views are in tension. This is because the strongest account of why race\, ethnicity\, and religion are not morally acceptable criteria for selecting immigrants also rules out selection based on skill. What all of these criteria have in common is that their application fails to respect the moral equality of prospective immigrants. Given that states are obligated to respect the moral equality of all persons\, I argue that this implies that the set of morally acceptable criteria for selecting immigrants is narrower than many currently accept.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk - Zofia Stemplowska (Oxford)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Distributing Commemorative Attention \nAbstract: Some of us get a lot of attention and some of us very little. This continues after we die. Some of our commemorative decisions are private but some of our commemorative attention is public: we are directed by monuments\, commemorative plaques and scheduled occasions towards those we should commemorate. Much of the vast literature on commemoration focuses on which figures or events are worthy of commemoration. But knowing if someone or something is worthy of commemoration does not solve the problem of the scarcity of our commemorative attention. When it comes to public commemoration\, how to allocate our commemoration between\, say\, those who achieved great things and those who suffered? I will consider by which standards we should judge whether the overall distribution of commemorative attention is just. I will suggest that we can allocate attention justly by aggregating people’s preferences for remembrance through a two-stage test: the constrained auction test.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk - Jonathan Wolff (Oxford)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘The Point Is To Change It’ \nAbstract: Many political philosophers happily repeat Karl Marx’s 11th Thesis on Feuerbach (inscribed on his gravestone) ‘The Philosophers have only interpreted the world. The point is to change it.’ Marx had a theory of change: proletariat revolution. But what theory of change is appropriate in current circumstances? In this talk I will consider the steps that typically foreshadow and lead to policy change and the potential for philosophy and philosophers to contribute. \nTeams link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZGVlZmIzMWMtODY1Zi00NzNjLWIzNmYtNjhkYjU2YjliM2Zj%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22f85626cb-0da8-49d3-aa58-64ef678ef01a%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22af5d8a3f-611f-454d-ba4b-63510191e14e%22%7d \n
