C- OCH MASTERKURSER Recent work on disagreement Instructors: Folke Tersman och Don Loeb Disagreement is a central concept in many philosophical discussions. It provides the point of departure of a familiar argument against the idea that moral judgments can be objectively true, but similar arguments have been advanced in other philosophical areas also. Disagreement is taken to generate philosophical implications partly because it is supposed to motivate doubts about, or reduced confidence in, those of our convictions that are contested, at least insofar as our opponents are not less well equipped than us in terms of availability of evidence, reasoning skills, and so on. The purpose of the course is to examine various arguments to that effect, as well as the more fundamental views about knowledge, truth and epistemic justification upon which those arguments rely. We shall specifically focus on ideas, positions, and arguments that have emerged in recent discussions. To illustrate the various arguments and positions that are to be examined we shall use example both from philosophical and from nonphilosophical contexts. Assessment Class participation and a 7,500-word essay (a 10,000-word essay for PhDstudents) on a topic approved by the teachers. Due October 1st 2018. Students may be asked to initiate the discussion at a lecture by giving a short presentation of relevant text(s). Schedule and venues 15

Themes and literature The list of readings may be slightly revised before the course begins. A final list will be provided one week ahead of the first lecture. The readings are, with a few exceptions, available through the library s e-resources (the exceptions will be distributed during the course). If you have problems in finding any of them please contact the teachers. Theme 1: Introduction. Lectures 1 & 2 will be spent on giving an overview about the aspects of the recent debate about disagreement that we plan to cover. We shall indicate the various arguments and positions that the discussion revolves around, the problems those arguments and positions are facing, and how they are related to other issues and views in epistemology and metaphysics. The overview is meant to provide a background for the subsequent discussions. Literature: Machuca, D. 2017. Moral Skepticism. An Introduction and Overview. In Machuca, ed., Moral Skepticism: New Essays, London: Routledge, 1-32. Matheson, J. 2015. Disagreement and Epistemic Peers, Oxford Handbooks Online. Theme 2: Conciliationism and steadfastness. Conciliationism is a position that has emerged within the peer disagreement debate. It entails, as an initial approximation, that we should reduce our confidence in the truth of a claim we accept if we find that it is rejected by an epistemic peer. Conciliationism is challenged by various philosophers who advocate steadfastness in the face of such opposition. Lectures 3 & 4 will be devoted to the recent discussion about these competing positions. We shall distinguish between different versions of them, explore their implications, and also discuss how they are related to the various epistemic principles that are employed by traditional arguments from disagreement.

Theme 3: Permissivism and uniqueness. One might try to avoid having to draw skeptical conclusions from the occurrence of disagreement by adopting some form of epistemological relativism, to the effect that people could be justified in 16

having conflicting beliefs even when they share evidence. That view is congenial with a position known as permissivism. Permissivism challenges the socalled uniqueness thesis, which, roughly, is the view that there is a unique rational response to a given body of evidence. In lectures 5 & 6, we shall address the debate between permissivists and impermissivists and discuss how it relates to the discussions about disagreement and skepticism.

Epistemic Permissivism, Philosophical Perspectives 19, 445-59. Theme 4: Explaining the epistemic significance of disagreement. The epistemic assumptions that arguments from disagreement invoke (such as assumptions to the effect that the proper response to peer disagreement is to revise ones confidence about the disputed claim) are sometimes simply taken for granted or supported with intuitions about imagined cases. In other cases, however, philosophers try to explain why disagreement generates skeptical implications with reference to more fundamental principles about what justification and knowledge require. According to one such principle, the justification of a belief depends on the evidence we have for it. The idea is that disagreement constitutes a type of evidence that is relevant to the assessment of a belief. That is one of the possibilities that we shall address in lectures 7 & 8. We shall also explore the relevance of modal requirements on knowledge, such as those according to which knowledge requires sensitivity, safety, and adherence. Literature: Christensen, D. 2010. Higher-Order Evidence, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 81, 185-215. Kelly, T. 2010. Peer Disagreement and Higher Order Evidence, In R. Feldman & T. A. Warfield, eds., Disagreement. Oxford: OUP. Risberg, O. and Tersman, F. Disagreement and Skepticism: A Novel Approach (unpublished ms). Theme 5: Overgeneralization and self-defeat. Arguments for moral skepticism that appeal to moral disagreement are sometimes criticized on the ground that they overgeneralize and can be extended also to other areas, both within and outside of philosophy. After all, disagreement is a phenomenon that does not on- 17

ly occur in ethics but in many if not all areas as well. The (alleged) fact that skeptical arguments from moral disagreement can be applied (mutatis mutandis) also to other areas is supposed to reduce the urgency of these arguments, partly because skepticism is not thought to be a viable position in some of those areas. We shall address these worries in lectures 9 & 10. One type of criticism that is connected to the overgeneralization worries concerns the coherence of arguments from disagreement. Such arguments generally invoke epistemic principles to the effect that the proper response to disagreement of certain types is to reduce one s confidence in the disputed claim or to drop one s verdicts about it. Those principles, however, are in turn the object of disagreement, which is thought to make the arguments vulnerable to the criticism that they are self-defeating in a problematic sense. This type of criticism will also be explored in lectures 9 & 10. Literature: Matheson, J. 2015. Are Conciliatory Views of Disagreement Self-Defeating, Social Epistemology 29, 145-59.

Taste, Fun, Beauty: Predicates of Personal Taste Teacher Andreas Stokke andreas.stokke@filosofi.uu.se Interested students should email me to be included in future announcements about the course. Course Description This course will be concerned with predicates of personal taste, such tasty, funny, and beautiful. Suppose you like broccoli, and your friend doesn t. You say, Broccoli is tasty! but your friend replies, No! Broccoli is disgusting. There s a strong sense that the debate you are having is different in some important way from debates you might have where one of you says, Napoleon was born on Malta, and the other one says, No, he wasn't. Intuitively, in your debate over Napoleon, we think one of you must be right. But in the former case, there s a sense in which we think that Broccoli is tasty and Broccoli isn t tasty can both be right, depending on who is saying or judging these statements. Within philosophy of language and other areas of philosophy this, and other issues surrounding predicates like tasty, has spawned a range of discussion over how such discourse is to be understood within different frameworks for theorizing about the relation between language, world, mind, and context. Should we think that there are definite conditions for when something is tasty or not and that Broccoli is tasty is simply true or false depending on certain facts about broccoli, or should we think that Broccoli is tasty hides more content than meets the eye. Alternatively, perhaps there s a way of making sense of the idea that Broccoli is tasty is true for some people but not for others. We will study debates mainly within philosophy of language, but will also consider issues that connect to aesthetics, metaethics, and other areas of philosophy. A major part of this course will be the opposition between so-called contextualism and relativism about evaluative discourse. We will look at the central debates over how to understand disagreement over things like taste, fun, and beauty. The course will be conducted in English. The course will not assume any technical background in semantics or pragmatics. 24
