    How to Get a Norm from a Speech Act Rae Langton The Amherst Lecture in Philosophy lectureP 10, 2015 http://www.amherstlecture.org/ the amherst lecture in philosophyP Lecture 10, 2015 How to Get a Norm from a Speech Act Rae Langton Preferred citation Langton, Rae. “How to Get a Norm from a Speech Act.” The Amherst Lecture in Philosophy 10 (2015): 1–33. <http://www.amherstlecture.org/langton2015/>. Abstract Doing things with words can create an ought that was not there before: Jones makes a promise, a master orders a slave. With the former example, Searle ‘derived’ an ought from an is. With the latter, Lewis showed that permissibility follows a ‘rule of accommodation’. The parallel between promise and order suggests that norms, good and bad, can be got from speech acts by accommodation: what is said ‘requires and thereby creates’ what is required, given certain conditions. Authority is such a condition: of a slave master, a desert island leader, a doctor, a quack doctor, a father, or a presidential candidate who ‘normalizes’ a behaviour. Authority can be pre-established, or gained by accommodation. It can be practical, or epistemic. It can belong to the speaker, or be outsourced. These cross-cutting distinctions allow for weakened authority, but a power to enact directives remains. Hearers can assist: in a two-part process, hearers accommodate presupposed authority, which in turn accommodates a speech act, cre- ating a norm. As hearers we may need, sometimes, to stop helping. The Amherst Lecture in Philosophy (ISSN: 1559-7199) is a free on-line journal, published by the Department of Philosophy, Amherst College, Amherst, MA 01002.

INTRODUCTION The College of All Souls of the Faithful Departed, of Oxford – known as All Souls College – was founded by Henry VI and Henry Chichele (Archbishop of Canterbury) in 1438. Today the College is primarily an academic research institution with particular strengths in the Humanities, Mathematics, Social and Natural Sciences and an outstanding library. It also has strong ties to public life. Although the Warden and Fellows of the College are involved in teaching and supervision of research in the University, there are no undergraduate members. On 31 July 2014 there were seventy-seven Fellows of All Souls, twenty-nine Emeritus (i.e. retired academic) and seven Honorary Fellows, many of whose continuing research the College was actively supporting.

  • Self-Narrative, Feminist Theory and Writing Practice
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington ON SHIFTING GROUND: Self-narrative, feminist theory and writing practice By Anne Else A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2006 To Susan Moller Okin 1946-2004 Abstract This thesis centres on a problem that stands at the heart of feminist theory: how women may come to understand themselves as speaking subjects located within historically specific, discursive social structures, to question those structures aloud, and to seek to change them. It combines self-narrative, feminist theory and writing practice to make sense of a body of published work which I produced between 1984 and 1999, with a consistent focus on some form of gendered discourse, by setting it in its personal, historical, and theoretical contexts. Although the thesis is built around published work, it is not primarily about results or outcomes, but rather about a set of active historical processes. Taking the form of a spirally structured critical autobiography spanning five and a half decades, it traces how one voice of what I have termed feminist oppositional imagining has emerged and taken its own worded shape. First, it constructs a double story of coming to writing and coming to feminism, in order to explore the formation of a writing subject and show the critical importance of the connections between subjectivity and oppositional imagining, and to highlight the need to find ways of producing knowledge which do not rely on the notion of the detached observer.

  • In This Issue of KRITIKE: an Online Journal of Philosophy
    KRITIKE VOLUME FIVE NUMBER TWO (DECEMBER 2011) i-iii Editorial In this Issue of KRITIKE: An Online Journal of Philosophy Roland Theuas DS. Pada hilology of the future! An insult thrown at Friedrich Nietzsche by his contemporary philologist, Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, whose P polemics dampened the reception of Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy, is one of the reasons why philosophy should be keenly aware with the difference between the idea of doing philosophy and understanding philosophy. On the one hand, doing philosophy in the sense of elucidation and exposition falls at the border between doing philosophy and philology. On the other hand, contributing something different to a discourse is one of the ways in which philosophy is able to live on and move towards the future. On a related note, the movement of philosophy is dynamic and unpredictable, a discourse at one time may be in vogue or in fashion, only to be eventually left as archive fodder. This is not to say that what we leave in an archive is entirely useless, rather this assertion speaks more of how we should overcome the very shoulders in which we erected our own philosophical edifice. Just as Heidegger had the anxiety of overcoming Kant in Sein und Zeit, and Derrida moving beyond Heidegger’s Destruktion, we must continue to think about the future of philosophy and to maintain an invisible thread that can tie and connect other discourses and disciplines together. I am very ecstatic to present the following papers for the tenth issue of KRITIKE: An Online Journal of Philosophy.

    ABSTRACT Objectivity and Subjectivity in Epistemology: A Defense of the Phenomenal Conception of Evidence Logan Paul Gage, Ph.D. Committee Chairperson: Trent Dougherty, Ph.D. We all have an intuitive grasp of the concept of evidence. Evidence makes beliefs reasonable, justifies jury verdicts, and helps resolve our disagreements. Yet getting clear about what evidence is is surprisingly difficult. Among other possibilities, evidence might consist in physical objects like a candlestick found at the crime scene, propositions like ‘a candlestick was found at the crime scene,’ or experiences like the experience of witnessing a candlestick at the crime scene. This dissertation is a defense of the latter view. Evidence, we will argue, consists in experiences or mental states called ‘seeming states.’ We begin with a look at why the logical positivists came to abandon the experiential or “phenomenal” conception of evidence and adopted what I call “the courtroom conception.” Despite its appeal, we argue that this latter view is too objective; it has trouble playing the role of subjective reasons-provider. Being more subjective, the phenomenal conception deserves another look. However, many have thought that the phenomenal conception itself is unable to fulfill other important roles of evidence. In Chapter Two we dispute this, arguing that the phenomenal conception can play all four of the chief roles of evidence. Examining the religious epistemology of Alvin Plantinga in Chapter Three we come to see that the phenomenal conception, while attractive, is in danger of being too subjective. If the phenomenal conception of evidence is to be tenable, it must be offered in conjunction with a conservative epistemic principle which tethers together experiences with the beliefs they evidence in an epistemically appropriate manner.

  • Seminar in Epistemology: Fallibilism (PHIL 468)
    Seminar in Epistemology: Fallibilism (PHIL 468) Professor Baron Reed Spring Quarter, 2012 office: 3-225 Kresge Hall 2-345 Kresge Hall email: [email protected] T 4:00-6:50 office hours: T/Th 12:30-1:30 and by appointment Course Description: “We are all fallibilists nowadays,” says Michael Williams. This is almost entirely true. But, despite its near-universal acceptance, fallibilism remains poorly understood. There are significant problems that follow in its wake—e.g,. the Gettier problem and the Lottery Paradox. Moreover, some philosophers claim more for knowledge than fallibilism can deliver, tying knowledge to assertion, practical rationality, and epistemic possibility. Finally, some philosophers think that the very idea of fallibilism is suspect; if the view is correct, it means “the world must do us a favor,” as John McDowell puts it. But the whole point of knowledge, one might have thought, is that it puts one in such a position that favors are not needed. In this seminar, we will investigate whether fallibilism has the resources to meet some or all of these concerns. Required Texts: Readings to be posted on Blackboard. Required Work: Work for the course will include a short paper, a presentation, a commentary on a classmate’s paper, and a final paper: 20% Short paper (4-5 pages) 20% Presentation (4-5 pages) 10% Comments (2 pages) 50% Final Paper (10 pages) Excellent class participation may also factor into the final grade. Course Policies: (1) Regular contributions to discussion will be expected. (2) Extensions must be requested before the due date.

  • Against Parthood* in Karen Bennett and Dean W
    Against Parthood* In Karen Bennett and Dean W. Zimmerman, eds., Oxford Theodore Sider Studies in Metaphysics, volume 8 (Oxford: OUP, 2013): 237– 93 I will defend what Peter van Inwagen calls nihilism: composite entities (entities with proper parts) do not exist.1 This formulation will need to be rened, and, at the very end of the paper, softened a little. But let us stick to the simple, strong version for now. Nihilism may seem absurd. For the world of common sense and science consists primarily of composite entities: persons, animals, plants, planets, stars, galaxies, molecules, viruses, rocks, mountains, rivers, tables, chairs, telephones, skyscrapers, cities… According to nihilism, none of these entities exist. But it is not absurd to reject such entities if one accepts their noncomposite subatomic particles. Consider three subatomic particles, a, b, and c, arranged in a triangular pattern. According to some, there exists in addition a fourth thing, T , which contains a, b, and c as parts. According to me, this fourth thing does not exist. Picture the disagreement thus: *Thanks to Frank Arntzenius, Elizabeth Barnes, Karen Bennett, Jiri Benovsky, Mike Bergmann, Ben Caplan, Ross Cameron, John Collins, Earl Conee, Shamik Dasgupta, Janelle Derstine, Sinan Dogramaci, Cian Dorr, TomDougherty, Matti Eklund, Hartry Field, Kit Fine, Anthony Fisher, Pete Graham, Yu Guo, John Hawthorne, Allan Hazlett, Sophie Horowitz, Michael Huemer, TomKelly, Josh Knobe, Rob Koons, Martin Lin, Ned Markosian, Kris Mc- Daniel, Trenton Merricks, Jill North, Lewis Powell, Jim Pryor, Josh Schechter, Nico Silins, Steve Steward, Margot Strohminger, Sarah Stroud, Meghan Sullivan, Jason Turner, Bruno Whittle, Dean Zimmerman, to anonymous referees, and especially to Liz Harman for much wisdom and patience.
