“A Wolf in the City. Tyranny and the Tyrant in Plato’s Republic”
@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Nov 1 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Cinzia Arruzza (NSSR) in conversation with Jessica Moss (NYU) and Nickolas Pappas (CUNY) Book discussion: “A Wolf in the City. Tyranny and the Tyrant in Plato’s Republic” The problem of tyranny preoccupied Plato, and its discussion both begins and ends his famous Republic. Though philosophers have mined the Republic for millennia, A Wolf in the City is the first monograph entirely devoted to the study of tyranny and of the tyrant’s soul in Plato’s Republic. The book argues that Plato’s critique of tyranny[...]

@ Columbia University Religion Dept. 101
Nov 2 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
In the early part of the 20th century, Joseph Needham formulated a substantial claim concerning the Chinese predilection for self-generated creation rather than creator gods and myths. Half a century later, scholars working in the West like Frederick Mote, Derk Bodde, and Chang Kwang-chih picked up on Needham’s insight to discuss the so-called lack of a “creation myth” in early Chinese culture, basing their arguments on what they called the “inner necessity” or “spontaneously self-generating”[...]

Agential Free Choice, Melissa Fusco (Columbia)
@ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Nov 5 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
The Free Choice effect—whereby ♢(p or q) seems to entail both ♢p and ♢q—has long been described as a phenomenon affecting the deontic modal “may”. This paper presents an extension of the semantic account of deontic free choice defended in Fusco (2015) to the agentive modal “can”, the “can” which, intuitively, describes an agent’s powers. I begin by sketching a model of inexact ability, which grounds a modal approach to agency (Belnap & Perloff, 1998;[...]

On Wednesday, November 7th at 7:30 PM, Sarah Clark Miller (Penn State) joins us to discuss “The Art of Refusal: Overcoming Epistemic Injustice in the #MeToo Era.” She’ll talk about how survivors of sexual assault and harassment can deal with the fact that many people don’t believe them. It’s a difficult topic, but I think it’s really, really important. If you’re interested in the epistemological questions surrounding #MeToo – what standards of evidence are appropriate for sexual misconduct[...]

Causal Composition, Jessica Wilson (Toronto)
@ CUNY Grad Center
Nov 8 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
On the face of it, we live in a world rife with materially composed objects. But what is it exactly for some (smaller, spatiotemporally located) objects to materially compose, or ‘make up’, another? Intuitively, this has something to do with causal interactions among the parts, but causal accounts of composition have been surprisingly rare, due to their seeming to face pressing difficulties associated with extensional inadequacy, vague existence, and causal overdetermination. Here I motivate, present,[...]

Openness and Indeterminacy, Amy Seymour, Fordham
@ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Nov 12 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
There are competing accounts of the openness of the future, which are structurally similar to competing analyses of ‘can’ and ‘able to do otherwise’. I argue metaphysical openness regarding the future requires the rejection of the commonly assumed tense logic axiom of Kt, (HF): p → HFp. (That is: If p, then it has always been the case that it will be that p). This account of openness both captures the core intuitions in the open[...]

Alejandro Vigo on “Meaning and causality in Kant’s conception of action”
@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Nov 15 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Kant’s conception of action cannot be understood in purely causal terms. The internal structure of action can only be explained in terms of a two-level meaning structure involving both a priori and empirical components. Short bio: Alejandro G. Vigo (Buenos Aires, 1958) is Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Navarra. Prof. Vigo earned his undergraduate degree in Philosophy (1984) from the University of Buenos Aires and a PhD in Philosophy from[...]

Nielsen: Speed-optimal Induction and Dynamic Coherence
@ Faculty House, Columbia U
Nov 16 @ 4:10 pm – 6:10 pm
A standard way to challenge convergence-based accounts of inductive success is to claim that they are too weak to constrain inductive inferences in the short run. We respond to such a challenge by answering some questions raised by Juhl (1994). When it comes to predicting limiting relative frequencies in the framework of Reichenbach, we show that speed-optimal convergence—a long-run success condition—induces dynamic coherence in the short run. This is joint work with Eric Wofsey. Michael[...]

A Multimodal Interpretation of Descartes’ Creation Doctrine, Andrew Tedder, UConn
@ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Nov 19 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Descartes’ doctrine of the creation of eternal truths seems to claim that there is a class of necessary truths which are, nevertheless, possibly false. In short, these are truths concerning the essences of created things, and so are necessary: yet God, having full voluntary control over the creation of said essences as part of his voluntary control over creation in general, could have failed to create some essences or created them otherwise than he did.[...]

We think being conscious is special. Computers and drones are formidable but they’re not conscious. Maybe so, but can a being or entity think and know things without being conscious? Absolutely. Consciousness isn’t needed for that. Indeed, consciousness isn’t needed for a lot of things, which raises a big question: What is consciousness for? Monday, November 19, 2018 at 6pm.

I introduce a sequence which I call indefinite: a sequence every element of which has a successor but whose number of elements is bounded; this is no contradiction. I then consider the possibility of space and time being indefinitely divisible. This is theoretically possible and agrees with experience. If this is space and time’s structure, then even if the laws of nature are deterministic, the behaviour of physical systems will be probabilistic. This approach might[...]

Fatalism and the Logic of Unconditionals, Justin Bledin (Johns Hopkins)
@ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Nov 26 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
In this talk, I consider a variant of the ancient Idle Argument involving so-called “unconditionals” with interrogative antecedents. This new Idle Argument provides an ideal setting for probing the logic of these close relatives of “if”-conditionals, which has been comparatively underexplored. In the course of refuting the argument, I argue that contrary to received wisdom, many unconditionals do not entail their main clauses, yet modus ponens is still unrestrictedly valid for this class of expressions. I[...]

We show that in the Maxwell–Lorentz theory of classical electrodynamics most initial values for fields and particles lead to an ill-defined dynamics, as they exhibit singularities or discontinuities along light-cones. This phenomenon suggests that the Maxwell equations and the Lorentz force law ought rather to be read as a system of delay differential equations, that is, differential equations that relate a function and its derivatives at different times. This mathematical reformulation, however, leads to physical[...]

Can the Vaiśeṣika Individuate Universals? David Nowakowski (Union)
@ Columbia University Religion Dept. 101
Nov 30 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
The Vaiśeṣika school of Indian philosophy is known for its distinctive doctrine of “individuators” (viśeṣāḥ), by means of which the various entities of the mundane world—substances, qualities, and motions—can be distinguished as unique individuals on purely formal grounds. As straightforward as the account is for these entities, the problem of individuation becomes much more complicated for universals. This paper uses the question “Can the Vaiśeṣika individuate universals?” to explore the next three categories in the[...]
