@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Sep 7 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Professor James Dodd gives a lecture entitled: “War and Sacrifice.

The Logic of Ground – Logic and Metaphysics Workshop
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3209
Sep 11 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Adam Lovett, NYU Abstract: In this talk I present a new logic of ground. By this, I mean a theory of what grounds what. My logic is an extension of Kit Fine’s (2012) logic. It has five main advantages over Fine’s logic. First, it is stronger. Second, it generates more intuitively valid principles. Third, it is theoretically fruitful. Fourth, it is ideologically parsimonious. Fifth, it solves Fine’s puzzles of ground. These constitute a compelling[...]

Truth or Consequences: Implicit Commitments and the Logic of Prāsaṅgika – Douglas Duckworth (Temple University)
@ Columbia Religion Dept. rm 101
Sep 15 @ 5:30 pm
In the first chapter of his Prasannapadā, Candrakīrti famously defended Buddhapālita against Bhāviveka’s criticism that he had failed to formulate Nāgārjuna’s critique of causality in terms of probative arguments, but rather left the arguments in the form of reductios. This debate is well known to be the starting point of the “Prāsaṅgika-Madhyamaka” interpretation in Tibet. Indeed, Tsongkhapa (1357-1419) has said that “an autonomous probative argument is not suitable to generate the view of thusness in an opponent” in[...]

Ancient and Contemporary Epistemology: Epistêmê and Doxa, Knowledge and Belief, Understanding and Opinion
Ancient and Contemporary Epistemology: Epistêmê and Doxa, Knowledge and Belief, Understanding and Opinion
@ NYU Silver Center, rm 503
Sep 16 – Sep 17 all-day
The full program can be viewed here. The workshop will bring together philosophers working in ancient epistemology with those working in contemporary epistemology to discuss issues relevant to the debates in both fields. It was assumed until recently that the distinction between doxa and epistêmê, key players in ancient epistemology, maps directly onto the contemporary distinction between knowledge and belief. Recent interpreters of Plato and Aristotle have challenged this assumption. Some argue that epistêmê is closer to understanding[...]

Hegel and the Problem of Bodily Expression, Julia Peters
@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Sep 21 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Hegel returns to the theme of human bodily expression repeatedly throughout his writings. While his early Phenomenology of Spirit offers a scathing criticism of contemporary physiognomy and phrenology, his later works contain a more nuanced view of the expressive capacities of the human body. In his late philosophy of mind, Hegel is particularly concerned with the question of how mental states which involve complex intellectual and social capacities, such as moral emotions, come to be[...]

Truthmaker Semantics for Relevant Logic – Mark Jago

Truthmaker Semantics for Relevant Logic – Mark Jago
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3209
Sep 25 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
It isn’t easy to interpret the standard semantics for relevant logics. The best attempts do so are in terms of information, in a way that has an anti-realist favour. I want to investigate an alternative, fully realist approach which puts truth front-and-centre. Applying truthmaker semantics to relevant logics is appealing for two reasons. First, it promises to supply a philosophical interpretation without appeal to added extras (such as a ternary relation). Second, truthmaker semantics (the[...]

Abstract: I will discuss some recent work by Tim Maudlin concerning Black Hole Information Loss.

I will also discuss Maudlin’s response to the paradox. Jim Weatherall (University of California, Irvine) There will be dinner after the talk. If you are interested, please send an[...]

Beauty: How to Make It Safe for the 21st Century, Dominic McIver Lopes
@ Lang Recital Hall, 4th flr., Hunter College
Sep 27 @ 6:00 pm
Critiques of beauty in art and in everyday life assume the traditional idea that aesthetic value is a kind of power to please. An entirely new picture comes from a close look at intricately structured networks of agents who interact with each other in aesthetic enterprises. Aesthetic values give us reasons to act in the context of social practices. The “network theory” explains why, despite the critiques, beauty never disappeared from art, why it’s as[...]

Todd May is Class of 1941 Memorial Professor of the Humanities at Clemson University. He is the author of fourteen books of philosophy, most recently A Fragile Life and A Significant Life, both from University of Chicago Press.

I argue that the realm of the normative, at least, is[...]
