Summer Seminar 2024: Troy Jollimore, Love’s VisionR3.25Thursday April 25, 2–4pm: Preface + Chapter 1: “Something In Between”: On the Nature of Love Seminars will take place in R3.25. All colleagues, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, are very welcome. “Love often seems uncontrollable and irrational, but we just as frequently appear to have reasons for loving the people we do. In Love’s Vision, Troy Jollimore offers a new way of understanding love that accommodates both of these facts, arguing that love is guided by reason even as it resists and sometimes eludes rationality. At the same time, he reconsiders love’s moral status, acknowledging its moral dangers while arguing that it is, at heart, a moral phenomenon—an emotion that demands empathy and calls us away from excessive self-concern. Love is revealed as neither wholly moral nor deeply immoral, neither purely rational nor profoundly irrational. Rather, as Diotima says in Plato’s Symposium, love is “something in between.”” |

WiP SeminarS2.77The next postgraduate Work in Progress (WiP) seminar is taking place this Thursday 30th May from 5-6:15 PM in S2.77 and on Teams. Gráinne O'Shea will present 'An account of the interdependence of joint and collective intentionality'. Everyone welcome!
Abstract:
The anti-individualist thesis in philosophy of mind is intended to resolve the problem of knowledge of other minds. It is sometimes also thought that this essential sociality of the mind bears some ethical significance. The literature is divided in its focus on interpersonal ethics and the importance of face-to-face interaction (or 'joint intentionality') on one hand, and impersonal ethics and immersion in cultures, forms of life, and history (or 'collective intentionality') on the other. This paper will argue that collective and joint intentionality should be understood as standing in a mutually determining relation, thereby explaining the interdependence that I suggest exists between impersonal and interpersonal ethics.

WiP SeminarS2.77The next postgraduate Work in Progress (WiP) seminar is taking place this Thursday 6 June from 5-6:15 PM in S2.77 and on Teams. Davide Versari will present 'Against Political Cognitivism as a Ground of Legitimacy'. Everyone welcome!
Abstract:
Political cognitivism is the commitment to the idea that there exists a standard of correctness for political decisions, and that such a standard can be reached. So-called belief-based approaches to political legitimacy take this to be the ground of legitimacy of a political decision or, more generally, of a political decision-making procedure. My aim is to counter this claim. To do that, I will argue that the epistemic circumstances of politics have some structural problems, linked to the concept of reasonable disagreement, such that the case in favour of cognitivism is not strong enough to justify its use as a ground of legitimacy.
