Philosophy Grad Discussion Group

Wednesday 14th November, 6:15-7:15

Collins Hall, Philosophy Seminar room

Richard Atkins of the Philosophy Dept. will be presenting some of his research at the next meeting of the Philosophy Grad Discussion group. The title of his talk is "Broadening Perceptual Normativity."

His blurb on the talk:

The discussion of perceptual normativity has focused on two interrelated issues. The first is perceptual veridicality, the claim that a perception is "good" if and only if it is of the way the object in fact is. The second is perceptual entitlement, which holds that a perception is "good" only if it entitles the perceiver to make true judgments. I argue that these claims constitute an aenemic theory of perceptual normativity because they fail to take into account the variety of aims we have in perceiving. Once we do so, we find that the first claim is false. Moreover, for the second claim to be non-trivial it must be supported by a broader theory of perceptual success.
