In this talk, I'll argue that if we accept this common-sense idea, then we ought to also accept a further idea: infinitism about cross-domain conflict, which posits a certain kind of infinite hierarchy of normative domains. An exact definition of this view will be given in the talk; the view will turn out to be counterintuitive. Thus, my argument in this talk presents us with an uncomfortable choice: we have to either reject the common-sense idea with which my argument begins, or accept the counterintuitive idea with which my argument concludes. For Sydney attendees, North Sydney is probably best - details below. David will speak at ACU?s Melbourne campus and the presentation will be video-conferenced to other campuses: Brisbane: 200.2.03 (BRI_xAC.22 Vd) Strathfield: 600.1.02 VC (STR_xE2.45 Vd) Ballarat: 100.1.03 (BAL_xCB1.103 Vd) Canberra: 302.2.13 (CAN_xS.G.1.10 Vd) North Sydney: TWH.12.24 (Tenison Woods House, 8-20 Napier St. Nth Syd) Melbourne: 460.4.280 (Mel 4.28Vd) This is the final talk in the ACU philosophy seminar series for 2017.

This paper explores institutional interventions into the perpetuation of wrongful epistemic practices. In particular, it discusses the ability of institutions to constructively engage the imaginations and affects of institutional actors in order to meliorate epistemic agency, and to foster epistemic co-operation between members of diverse communities. I argue that institutions have the potential to mitigate epistemic wrongs in ways that extend beyond their capacity to exploit feelings of shame, hope, and fear through mechanisms of publicity, punishment, and reward. This paper draws on a recent example of a successful social justice initiative in Australia, the Maranguka Justice Reinvestment Project, to explore how institutions may help to cultivate sociable affects such as trust, concern, and esteem in order to support epistemic virtue and joint epistemic action across significant social and cultural divides.

Is animal ethics the preserve of moral philosophers or does political philosophy also add something of significance to the debate about how we ought to treat animals? It is argued that there are three main political dimensions to the animal ethics debate. The first relates to questions of feasibility. The second focuses on the utility of regarding animals as beneficiaries of justice as opposed to moral status. The third emphasises the importance of incorporating animals into the democratic community. Together, these three strands constitute a new ?political turn? in animal ethics. This lecture will focus on the third strand. It starts by identifying how animals are currently regarded politically. This anthropocentric, account suggests that animal interests ought to be considered within a democratic polity if and when enough humans desire this to be the case. An alternative account holds that the interests of animals ought to be taken into account because they have a democratic right that their interests are considered. It is possible to defend this non-anthropocentric account by utilising democratic theory and, in particular, the all-affected principle. This approach is favourably contrasted with an alternative, citizenship, account which relies upon contested, capacity-oriented, claims current within the field of animal ethics. A non-anthropocentric account of democracy is clearly in the realm of ideal theory. Of greater practical importance, therefore, is the identification of ways in which the anthropocentric model can be tweaked in order to better able the protection of animals. One such reform is the greater utilisation of deliberative democracy, and the talk reports on a review of deliberative experiments involving animal issues. Robert Garner is Professor of Politics at the University of Leicester. He has published widely on the ethics and politics of animal protection. His books include 'Animals, Politics and Morality' (Manchester University Press, 2004), 'Animal Ethics' (Polity, 2005), 'The Political Theory of Animal Rights' (Manchester University Press, 2005), 'A Theory of Justice for Animals' (Oxford University Press, 2013) and ?The Political Turn in Animal Ethics, co-edited with Siobhan O?Sullivan (Rowman and Littlefield, 2016). He is currently working on a Leverhulme Trust-funded project on the intellectual history of animal rights. This event is convened by the Human Animal Research Network (HARN).

This conference takes this discussion further by connecting up the Enlightenment with the early modern period and the ?rebellious? ideas that were already formulated and passed around during this time. The papers of this conference bring into focus the many challenges philosophers of the 17th and 18th century posed to established intellectual, political, religious and social norms. These challenges touch on a diverse range of topics, spanning from fundamental questions concerning the status of the human being in the natural world, and the prospect of gaining knowledge of that world, to the redefinition of sentiment and affect as defining features of the moral potential of humanity. Reflections on the foundations of the state, self-governance and the rights of individuals and groups often followed on from these questions and thereby led to a novel engagement with the conditions that structure and shape human life. SIHN's Enlightenment Thinking Project will be hosting this conference, a central aim of which is to use the wider discussion of 17th- and 18th-century thought to launch a new series, the Australasian Seminar in Early Modern in Philosophy (ASEMP). Our speakers have backgrounds in philosophy, intellectual history, history and philosophy and science and art history and will address questions about the relevance of deviant thinking from a range of different methodological angels. In addition to encouraging interdisciplinary discourse, the conference seeks to support the work of early career researchers through our Young Scholar Panel and an accompanying mentoring programme on the third day.

The purpose of this talk is to present what I believe to be the strongest challenge against the existence of (some accounts of) free will from the brain sciences. I will develop this challenge over the course of three steps. To begin, I will present what I will call the broad challenge of the brain sciences. The broad challenge holds the evidence from the brain sciences shows some candidate free will mechanisms do not play the role we suppose they do in production of our actions. As a result, there is no free will in the world according our concept. Then, I will argue that the broad challenge is untenable, and will instead concentrate on the nearby narrow challenge of the brain sciences. The main difference between the narrow and broad challenge, is the narrow challenge allows that some candidate free will mechanisms do play the role we suppose they do in a few instances. Finally, I will reframe the narrow challenge of the brain sciences into what I call the discrepancy puzzle. The discrepancy puzzle highlights an apparent gap between the limited number of instances of free will in the brain sciences and number of instances of free will in the world as judged by the folk. This puzzle serves as major motivation for a new account of free will.

Theories of situated cognition have been persuasively applied to emotions and moods. Critically synthesizing recent views of extended emotion and distributed affectivity, I identify four ways in which the phenomena in question also implicate both individual and socially distributed remembering. I suggest some applications to our understanding of how shared history animates intimate couples and other small groups. Where some accounts of joint action, shared remembering, and extended emotion focus primarily on convergence or synchrony across individuals, I argue for a broader conception of psychological interdependence as the complementarity of memories and emotions which may mesh in content or form.
