DESCRIPTION:\n
Abstract: It i
s widely recognized by proponents of the notion that grounding can be\, in
deed is\, overdetermined. Further to this\, it seems safe to suppose that
something of a consensus has emerged: grounding is overdetermined and the
re is nothing about it\, either conceptually or metaphysically\, that we o
ught to find concerning. But from a small sampling of alleged cases no su
ch conclusions can responsibly be drawn. This paper aims to demonstrate t
hat there is nothing obvious or straightforward about grounding overdeterm
ination and that the topic is deserving of much more serious philosophical
attention.

DESCRIPTION:The Saul Kripke Center is pleased to announce that William N
ava (PhD student\, Philosophy\, NYU) will deliver the eighth Saul Kripke C
enter Young Scholars Series talk on Friday\, October 8\, 2021\, from 1:00
to 3:00 pm (NY time) via Zoom. The talk is free and open to all\, but thos

\nTitle: The significance and scope of
the adoption problem
\nAbstract: The adoption p
roblem is an argument purporting to show that certain logical inferen
ce rules cannot be rationally ‘adopted’—roughly because one would need to
already be guided by the inference rules in question to go about adopting
them. In this talk\, I’ll first argue that this argument is best understoo
d as showing that certain rules are necessary for adoption of rules in
general (where their own unadoptability is then a corollary). I’ll t
hen defend the argument from the objection that the notion of adoption is
too narrow for the argument to be relevant to logical debates. Finally\, I
’ll consider the question of just which rules the argument applies to. I c
onclude that the argument does not apply to any classical inference rules
in full generality\, but only to somewhat ad hoc restrictions of some of t
hem. On the other hand\, I’ll also show that the argument does ap
ply to the transparent truth rules—or\, more precisely\, to restrictions o
f them that suffice to generate paradox. What falls out of these considera
tions is an ur-logic to which everyone must subscribe on pain of
inability to adopt any new rules at all\; and which\, though quite minimal
\, is incompatible with classical logic by virtue of including the truth r
ules.

Title: Kripkean Necessities\, Imaginative
Kripke Puzzles\, and Semantic Transparency
\n
Abstract: Kripke (1980) famously argued that some a posteriori statements are ne
cessary when true. I begin by exploring an unusual technique to try to lea
rn these necessities merely through imagination that I call “Semantic Imag
inative Transfer”. I explore an idealized instance of this technique which
I suggest leads to an imaginative variant of Kripke’s (1979) puzzle about
belief. I note that on some widespread assumptions (including that propos
itional idiom can be maintained in the face of Kripke puzzles)\, the ideal
ized example restricts the space for accommodating Kripkean necessities to
two families of views: familiar\, broadly Guise-Theoretic approaches to p
ropositional attitudes\, and unconventional and largely unexplored views e
mbracing semantic transparency principles. I briefly review some of the hi
story of transparency principles\, make some conjectures as to why they we
nt out of fashion following the work of semantic externalists (including K
ripke)\, and make a plea for exploring the consequences of their adoption.
Along the way I note the significance of doing so: the transparency princ
iples render Kripkean necessities a priori.

DESCRIPTION:Neopragmatists seek to sidestep metaphysical puzzles by shif
ting the target of philosophical explanation from the objects we think and
talk about to the functions of expressions and concepts in our cognitive
economy. Logical vocabulary can serve as a target for neopragmatist inquir
y\, and it has also posed obstacles to neopragmatist accounts of other voc
abulary. I will argue that the obstacles can be addressed by adopting a ne
opragmatist perspective toward logical relations\, such as logical consequ
ence\, and toward propositional content. Doing so calls into question two
purported constraints on explanations of the functions of logical connecti
ves. I will sketch an account made possible by rejecting those constraints
\, one according to which logical connectives serve to express dialectical
attitudes. The proposal is deflationary in two ways: it rests on an exten
sion of deflationism from truth to logical relations\, and it aims to defl
ate some of neopragmatists’ theoretical ambitions.
\nHi\, All. Below
is the provisional program for the Workshop this coming semester. Meetin
gs will be as usual: Mondays 16.15-18.15 at the GC. Room 9205. We are reve

DESCRIPTION:Saul Kripke announced his possible world semantics in 1959\,
and published his proof of axiomatic completeness for the standard modal
logics of the time in 1963. It is very unlike the standard completeness p
roof used today\, which involves a Lindenbaum/Henkin construction and prod
uces canonical models. Kripke’s proof involved tableaus\, in a format tha
t is difficult to follow\, and uses tableau construction algorithms that a
re complex and somewhat error prone to describe. I will first discuss Krip
ke’s proof\, then the historical origins of the modern version. Then I wi
ll show that completeness\, proved Kripke style\, could actually have been
done in the Lindenbaum/Henkin way\, thus simplifying things considerably.
None of this is new but\, with the parts collected together it is an int
eresting story. “In my end is my beginning”.

DESCRIPTION:The sender-receiver model was developed by David Lewis to ta
ckle the question of the conventionality of meaning. But many people who c
ared about the conventionality of meaning did so because they thought it w
as intimately connected to the conventionality of logic. Since Lewis’s wor
k\, only a few attempts have been made to say anything about the nature of
logic and inference from the perspective of the sender-receiver model. Th
is talk will look at the what’s been said in that regard\, by Skyrms and o
thers\, and suggest a few general lessons.

DESCRIPTION:What we call first-order logic over fixed domain was initiat
ed\, in a certain guise\, by Peirce around 1885 and championed\, albeit in
idiosyncratic form\, by Zermelo in papers from the 1930s. We characteriz
e such logics model- and proof-theoretically and argue that they constitut
e exploration of a clearly circumscribed conception of domain-dependent ge
nerality. Whereas a logic\, or family of such\, can be of interest for an
y of a variety of reasons\, we suggest that one of those reasons might be
that said logic fosters some clarification regarding just what qualifies a
s a logical concept\, a logical operation\, or a logical law.

DESCRIPTION:
still scheduled\, but zoom link for those who can’t travel:
https://NewSchool.zoom.us/j/8479688193
\nThroughout the 21st century
\, philosophers of language have increasingly concerned themselves with th
e hateful\, coercive\, dehumanizing\, and deadly. In particular\, ‘non-ide
al’ philosophers of language question whether received conceptual toolkits
from philosophy of language manage to make contact with our non-ideal wor
ld at all. This paper takes up that methodological interest from a Wittgen
steinian perspective. Drawing on critical interventions by Nancy Bauer\, A
vner Baz\, Alice Crary\, Cora Diamond\, and Toril Moi\, I argue that non-i
deal philosophers of language neutralize their ideology-critical bite when
they presume an authoritative force for their words by virtue of a normat
ively neutral conception of reason. This neutralization is driven and sust
ained by an idle picture of language that isolates our words from the acti
vities into which they are woven. To make discursive phenomena available i
n their political import\, we philosophers of language must acknowledge ou
r own non-neutral involvement in the very discursive practices we’re theor
izing – and this will require us to relinquish the entitlement to impose a
uthoritative requirements on language through theories of meaning.
\nTo illustrate the need for normatively non-neutral methods in philosophic
al practice\, I focus on cases where philosophers’ curious gaze treats tra
ns people
\nas fascinating objects of knowledge\, as opposed to ackno
wledging us as interlocutors and recognizing the political stakes of our d
iscursive practices. What inhibits the cultivation of acknowledgement\, of
normatively resonant modes of attention\, is a picture of philosophical t
heorizing that forbids us from articulating our political solidarities thr
ough our work (and thus obfuscates what we ourselves are doing with words
when theorizing). The non-ideal philosopher’s critical concept of idealiza
tion\, seen aright in a normatively non-neutral light\, exemplifies the so
rt of theoretical resource that is mobilized by members of marginalized gr
oups to invite such modes of attention – to shape not only our epistemic r
esources\, but also our senses of what matters.

DESCRIPTION:The virtually ubiquitous view of seeing-as experiences in Wi
ttgenstein scholarship interprets them as conceptually-laden (with some ex
ceptions\, e.g. Travis 2016). The claim is that we can see the same image
differently due to switching the conceptual filters\, as it were\, through
which we experience the image (e.g. Schroeder 2010\; Mulhall 2001). In th
is paper I focus on a specific kind of a seeing-as experience for which Wi
ttgenstein’s example of suddenly noticing the similarity between faces is
the paradigm. I argue that it is possible to have no concepts involved in
this experience\, and propose an understanding of what I call “the imagist
ic seeing-as” as a similarity association\, of the kind that grounds poeti
c means of expression\, such as metaphors. The associative nature of this
imagistic seeing-as experience may also contribute to the understanding of
biases – both personal (e.g. displaced offence) and social (e.g. sexism).

DESCRIPTION:On the basis of Poincaré and Weyl’s view of predicativity as
invariance\, we develop an extensive framework for predicative\, type-fre
e first-order set theory in which Γ0 and muc
h bigger ordinals can be defined as von Neumann ordinals. This refutes the
accepted view of Γ0 as the ‘limit of pr
edicativity.’ We also explain what is wrong in Feferman-Schütte analysis o
f predicativity on which this view of

DESCRIPTION:The importance of incorporating value pluralism into a theor
y of justice is recognized in many conceptualizations of justice. This plu
ralism is often seen as a reason to attend to a range of perspectives\, pe
rspectives which can function as a source of information in determining wh
ich principles should guide justice. However\, philosophy’s ability to pro
perly attend to different perspectives has received extensive attention in
the criticisms of various non-ideal theorists\, who argue that ideal-theo
retical philosophy runs the risk of excluding important aspects of actual
social problems. Taking these criticisms on board\, this paper builds on n
on-ideal theory by arguing for a Wittgensteinian family resemblance approa
ch to justice. I will explain how this linguistic practice-embedded unders
tanding of justice can be a helpful tool for non-ideal theory\, as it can
give us insight into why\, in various similar but different cases\, the no
tion of justice is seen as applicable. In light of this approach\, I will
suggest a reorientation of the pluralist demand towards an empirical start
ing point.

DESCRIPTION:We consider the game of infinite Wordle as played on Baire s
pace ωω
span>. The codebreaker can win in finit
ely many moves against any countable dictionary Δ⊆ωω\, but not again
st the full dictionary of Baire space. The Wordle number is the siz
e of the smallest dictionary admitting such a winning strategy for the cod
ebreaker\, the corresponding Wordle ideal is the ideal generated by
these dictionaries\, which under MA includes all dictionaries of size les
s than the continuum. The Absurdle number\, meanwhile\, is the size
of the smallest dictionary admitting a winning strategy for the absurdist
in the two-player variant\, infinite Absurdle. In ZFC there are nondeterm
ined Absurdle games\, with neither player having a winning strategy\, but
if one drops the axiom of choice\, then the principle of Absurdle determin
acy has large cardinal consistency strength over ZF+DC. This is joint work
with Ben De Bondt (Paris).

DESCRIPTION:Serving as a response to Aimé Césaire’s call for a universal
filled with particularity from his infamous resignation from the French C
ommunist Party in 1956\, I focus on the role of culture for a project of u
niversal emancipation. To do so\, I follow Sylvia Wynter’s statement that
the Négritude movement is an example of a universal and cultural project.
Recalling Césaire’s words in “Return to My Native Land\,” culture that ser
ves universal emancipation must be “free of the desire to tame but familia
r with the play of the world.” To this end\, I develop a conception of cul
ture that is both local and universal\, that centers on the importance of
what it means to be human\, as life\, as being\, and as experience by read
ing culture as necessarily local\, collective\, disenchanted\, and related
to play.
