SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Jordan MacKenzie (Virginia Tech)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Edgecliffe G03 \nTitle: Humorlessness and Moral Recognition \nAbstract: We’re often quick to point fingers at people who fail to find humor in themselves. And our accusations have a moral tinge: we decry people for being sanctimonious buzzkills\, and command them to  ‘get over themselves’. But are these moralized reactions justified? And what\, if anything\, justifies them? In this paper I argue that humourlessness often is a moral failing. This is because humorlessness often involves a disrespectful failure or refusal to engage with other peoples’ perspectives. I’ll then explore what implication this account has for accusations of humorlessness in oppressive social contexts\, and I’ll argue that one of the harms of oppression is that it makes having a sense of humor towards oneself morally risky.

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) – 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:Contractarianism\, Role Obligations\, and Political Morality
DESCRIPTION:An in-person symposium in St. Andrews on themes from the recently-published\, Contractarianism\, Role Obligations\, and Political Morality\, by Ben Sachs. \nLocation: Edgecliffe\, G03 \nSchedule (all times PM) \n1:30-1:55: Ben Sachs-Cobbe\, Philosophy\, University of St. Andrews\, “Welcome and Summary” (Chs. 1-3) \n1:55-2:35: Michael Moore\, Law\, University of Illinois\, “Finding the Purposes of Staplers and States” (Ch. 4) \n2:35-3:15: Antony Duff\, Philosophy\, University of Stirling (Emeritus)\, “Legal Liberalism+ and the Varieties of Legal Moralism” (Ch. 5) \n3:15-3:45: Tea/coffee break \n3:45-4:25: Cécile Fabre\, Political Philosophy\, University of Oxford\, “Who’s In\, Who’s Out: the Scope of Contractarian Political Morality” (Ch. 6) \n4:30-5:10: Visa Kurki\, Jurisprudence\, University of Helsinki\, “Sachs on the Legal Status of Sentient Animals” (Ch. 7) \n5:15-5:45: Panel Session\, with all speakers mentioned above as panelists \nBook Precis \nContractarianism is well suited as a political morality…or so this book argues\, before going on to explore the implications of deploying contractarianism in this way.  Its starting point is the natural thought that the state owes things to its people: physical security\, public health and sanitation services\, and a functioning judiciary\, for example.  But we need a theory—a political morality—that can explain why this is so and identify who the state’s ‘people’ are.  The book argues that what it means for the state to have obligations is for the state’s office-holders (e.g.\, its legislators\, judges\, and bureaucrats) to have role obligations.  These role obligations derive from the purpose of the state\, which is grounded in the intentions of those who partake in the sustaining of the state. By way of extracting implications from this new version of contractarianism\, the book argues first that at least an extremely weak version of political liberalism follows from it.  And this small dose of political liberalism yields a very strong version of legal liberalism (the view that the goodness/badness of an act doesn’t figure in to the question of how the law\, including the criminal law\, ought to deal with that act).  Second\, the book argues that there is an important sense in which it’s false that sentient animals as such are among the state’s people\, and that the arguments for extending citizenship to this fail.  Finally\, from there the book argues for a moderate position on the proper legal status of such animals. \nRegistration \nAttendance is free\, thanks to gratefully acknowledged support from the Scots Philosophical Association.  Although registration is not required\, it would be helpful if you’d register by sending an email to Ben Sachs-Cobbe (bas7@st-andrews.ac.uk).  Those who register might get a free meal or two\, budget allowing! \nThe symposium venue is disability accessible and funds are available to pay for childcare for those who need it in order to attend.  If you have any questions about the symposium\, please contact Ben Sachs-Cobbe (bas7@st-andrews.ac.uk).

SUMMARY:All Work and No Play
DESCRIPTION:A workshop on the philosophy of work and time-allocation \n  \n16-18 September \, 2021 \nThe Future of Work and Income Research Network    (fwistandrews@gmail.com) \nCentre for Ethics\, Philosophy\, and Public Affairs \nDepartment of Philosophy\, University of St Andrews \nWorkshop to be held entirely online \nThursday 16th September \n\n\n\n10.30am\nWelcome and introdution to the Future of Work and Income Research Network\n\n\n11am – 12:30pm\nJonathan Wolff (Oxford University): Working at Home\, Socialising at Work\n\n\n2:30 – 4pm\nLisa Herzog (Groningen University): Bodies at Work\n\n\n\nFriday 17th September \n\n\n\n11am – 12:30pm\nDiana-Elena Popescu (Edinburgh University): Leisure for Every Body: Disability and the Four Day Workweek\n\n\n2:30 – 4pm\nJoe Ryle (4 Day Week Campaign): Has the time come for a four-day week?\n\n\n\nSaturday 18th September \n\n\n\n11am – 12:30pm\nOtto Lehto (KCL): The Technological Unemployment Hypothesis in the UBI Debate: A Critique\n\n\n12:30 – 2pm\nSimeon Goldstraw (Oxford University) Free Time Isn’t Working\n\n\n3 – 4:30pm\nBertrand Rossert (World Bank): Defining Work\n\n\n\n“8 hours labour\, 8 hours recreation\, 8 hours rest!” This was the slogan adopted by many labour movements in the nineteenth century\, when 16-hour working days were not uncommon. 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 – 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.

SUMMARY:Working with Policymakers: A Practical Guide
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams Link \nPart 1. 3-3:30. In the first half hour\, Rowan Cruft\, Professor of Philosophy at Stirling University and CEPPA Member\, recounts his involvement with the Leveson Inquiry into the conduct of the British media\, which made use of his work on human rights. \nPart 2. 3:30-4:30. Researchers in all fields can have an influence on policy in various ways\, but it sometimes seems as if only a select few get to do so. The last hour of the event will offer some tricks of the trade as to how to get your research noticed by the policy community and what pitfalls to avoid. This hour will be led by Nick Bibby\, who is a policy engagement professional. With a background in political journalism and higher education communications\, Nick led the creation of the Scottish Policy & Research Exchange (SPRE) before becoming its director in 2019. SPRE encourages and supports collaboration between the policy and academic communities and has a particular focus on encouraging new voices to provide academic analysis and expertise. It offers training and digital resources for researchers and creates opportunities for them to meet with policy professionals.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk - Katharine Jenkins (Glasgow)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘How To Be a Pluralist About Gender’ \nAbstract: There are various of attractive accounts of gender kinds on offer (Haslanger 2012\, Asta 2018)\, as well as accounts of the ontology of human social kinds (or social groups) more broadly (Mallon 2016\, Ritchie 2020) that are much more conducive to feminist aims than a lot of previous work in social ontology. As metaphysicians of gender\, we are spoilt for choice! In this talk\, I argue that we do not have to choose a single account of gender kinds\, but can adopt a principled pluralism about gender kinds: there are many different varieties of social kinds that can be understood as gender kinds\, and which ones we need to use in our theorising and practices depend on our explanatory and practical goals. Although many philosophers appear willing to entertain pluralism about gender kinds\, little has been said about how this would work\, and it is important to fend off the worry that pluralism would entail an ontological ‘free-for-all’. I offer a framework for systematising these different gender kinds\, the ‘Constraints and Enablements Framework’ and show how it fends off the free-for-all worry\, revealing gender pluralism as a metaphysically manageable and politically appealing position. \n  \n

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk - Hallie Liberto (University of Maryland)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Consent and the Question of Dynamics’ \nAbstract: In this paper\, I first argue that “rights-waiving” is not an accurate\, general description of the operation persons perform when they grant permissive consent. It fails to describe the change to the structure of the normative world that I call authority-retaining permissive consent. This is the kind of permissive consent we use in cases of sexual consent\, medical consent\, consent to a visitor in the home\, consent to another reading one’s diary or manuscript – any type of consent wherein the consenting agent retains the normative power to withdraw consent throughout the event. “Rights-waiving” gets the operation wrong\, obscuring the real dynamics of rights. Second\, I argue that the inaccurate account of the operation of consent gives rise to a variety of other misconceptions about how consent works and what it means for an act to be nonconsensual\, especially in the realm of sexual ethics.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk - Martin Smith (Edinburgh)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Lexical Priority\, Decision Theory and De Minimis Risk’ \nAbstract: Say that one moral requirement takes lexical priority over another just in case violations of the former can never be outweighed or counterbalanced by violations of the latter. While lexical priority is arguably a feature of many ethical systems\, attempts to model it within the framework of decision theory have led to a series of difficulties – a fact which is sometimes spun as a ‘decision theoretic critique’ of lexical priority. In this paper\, I will develop an enriched decision theoretic framework that is capable of overcoming one of the major obstacles to modelling lexical priority. The key move is to introduce\, into decision theory\, a non-probabilistic conception of risk known as normic risk.

SUMMARY:Knox Lecture 2020 - John Haldane (Baylor/University of St Andrews)
DESCRIPTION:CEPPA is pleased to present the 2020 Sir Malcolm Knox Memorial Lecture:\nJohn Haldane FRSA\, FRSE\nJ. Newton Rayzor Sr Distinguished Professor of Philosophy\, Baylor University \nEmeritus Professor of Moral Philosophy\, University of St. Andrews \nSenior Fellow\, CEPPA \nVisiting Professor\, Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues\, University of Birmingham \n“Philosophy and Public Affairs in Historical Perspective’’\nwith introductory remarks by Professor Sally Mapstone FRSE\, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St. Andrews\n3:00 p.m. \nLive webcast on Microsoft Teams \nOpen to all; no invitation needed.  Click here to join the webcast. \n  \nAbstract: \nThe expression ‘Philosophy and Public Affairs’ like ‘Applied Philosophy’ was coined in the early 1970s to reflect a growing interest among professional philosophers in engaging practical and policy issues. That interest was the product of developments within philosophy but also of social events\, especially ones relating to personal morality\, civil rights\, foreign policy\, and warfare. CEPPA\, originally titled the ‘Centre for Philosophy and Public Affairs’ was inspired in its conception by initiatives in the US and sought to bring together philosophy and practice. The Knox lecture was an important focus of this\, and having been involved with the Centre from the outset and directed it for most of its history\, and engaged with most of the lecturers including Dworkin\, MacIntyre\, Putnam\, Rawls\, Rorty\, Skinner\, Taylor\, Warnock\, and Williams\, I will begin with a brief review of its aims and some of these contributions noting the contrast between a priori argument and historically situated reflection. This will lead to an analysis of the relation of thought to history involving ‘three degrees of historical involvement’. From that I will turn to look at the rise of casuistry in medieval thought\, giving some illustrations of enduring ‘discoveries’ about norms for action\, and then draw upon a specific concern of Aquinas about the virtues that should govern disputation bringing these to the contemporary concern with contention and disagreement\, both as a matter of theory (giving rise to the idea of ‘public reason’) and practice. These historical reflections pose a question about the nature and future of liberalism. \nTo see Professor Haldane’s recent CEPPA Chat\, click here.
