Radical consciousness is defined by its structure not its content. It is that kind of consciousness, first identified by Sandra Bartky, in which ?certain features of social reality are [experienced as] intolerable, as to be rejected on behalf of a transforming project for the future.? It is the kind of consciousness that typically emerges through participation in political movements aimed at changing the world. I identify its profile as comprising a blend of hope and indignation. Radical consciousness can function as an epistemic accelerator and so can sometimes give rise to epistemic privilege that supports moral deference.

The first is to show that state sponsored political symbols, including statues, monuments, the naming of locations, etc., can do the objectionable things hate speech does, but more effectively. This happens through what I call ?hateful pedestalling:? by paying tribute to individuals, groups, or ideologies that are extremely and unjustly hostile towards certain groups, the state subordinates, excludes, and assaults. The second is to argue that political vandalism?the unauthorized defacing, destroying, and removal of political symbols?is sometimes the appropriate response to hateful political symbols. I draw from a particular account of the responses to hate speech?counter-speech?and argue that political vandalism is at least sometimes the counter-speech fit for blocking and ?undoing? the harms of hateful political symbols. Bio: Ten-Herng Lai is a PhD Student at the Australian National University. His research interest is in civil disobedience, in particular on how theories of civil disobedience run the risk of imposing unreasonable constraints on those who engage in political struggle. His paper "Justifying uncivil disobedience" has been accepted and expected to be published in the Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy vol 5.

What initiated the idea for this workshop are recent findings that prove systematic disadvantages of women teachers in student evaluations, a resurgence of feedback based on physical attributes and inappropriate language, as well as a series of incidents where male students teamed up to undermine the authority of female teachers. We will discuss these and other problems and offer guidance on how to deal with them. We will also have a range of different theoretical inputs on speech act theory and gender roles in public argumentation and debate, and a practical training element facilitated by a professional voice coach for women in leadership roles. 17th September, 1-5 pm Muniment Room, Main Quad, A 14, Camperdown Campus, University of Sydney Organiser: Anik Waldow Format: 10 minute input + 20 minute discussion (with questions, texts, etc.) 1-1.30 Introduction: Anik Waldow ?Women in Student Evaluations? ?

Schedule 9.45 Welcome ? John Sutton (Cognitive Science, Macquarie) 10.00-11.00 Musical scaffolding and the space of empathy ? Joel Krueger (Philosophy, Exeter) Abstract: Proponents of distributed cognition observe that we routinely ?offload? our thinking onto body and world: we use gestures and calculators to augment mathematical reasoning, and smartphones and search engines as memory aids. In this talk, I argue that music is a beyond-the-head resource that affords offloading. Via this offloading, music scaffolds access to new forms of thought, experience, and behavior. I here focus on music?s capacity to scaffold self-regulative process constitutive of emotional consciousness, as well as shared behavioral mechanisms (mimicry, behavioral synchronization, affectively motivated movements and interaction, etc.) responsible for empathic connection. In developing this idea, I consider the ?material? and ?worldmaking? character of music and apply these considerations to several case studies, including music as a weapon for torture. 11-11.30 Coffee break 11.30-11.50 Emotions as affordances ?

Merritt University of New South Wales Mendelssohn and Kant on Virtue as a Skill The idea that virtue can be profitably conceived as a certain sort of skill has a long history. My aim is to examine a neglected episode in this history ? one that focuses on the pivotal role that Moses Mendelssohn played in rehabilitating the skill model of virtue for the German rationalist tradition, and Immanuel Kant?s subsequent, yet significantly qualified, endorsement of the idea. Mendelssohn celebrates a certain automatism in the execution of skill, and takes this feature to be instrumental in meeting an objection against perfectionist, agent-based ethics: namely, that a virtuous person would seem to act for the sake of realising his own perfection in everything that he does, thereby taking a morally inappropriate interest in his own character. Kant rejects the automatism featured in Mendelssohn?s account, on grounds that it would make virtue mindless and unreflective. But he does not reject the skill model of virtue wholesale. Rather, he calls for considering how reflection can be embedded in the expression of certain kinds of skill, enabling him to endorse, and arguably adopt, the model on his own terms.

This astonishing result is taken by some to undermine realism about entanglement. I present an alternative explanation of these experiments that invokes entanglement relations between particles at different times. I argue that such an explanation?radical though it may be?isn't incoherent and doesn't invite paradox. I compare this approach to a more deflationary realist strategy defended by Matthias Egg, which I argue faces problems in light of relativity. The upshot is that we should take seriously the possibility of entanglement across time and seek to develop a framework for quantum theory which allows for it.

In it, Socrates tries to convince Axiochus, who is near death, that he has nothing to fear. Although the Axiochus was already recognised as spurious by the 3rd Century CE, it has been associated with the Platonic Academy from antiquity to the present. However, its arguments seem carelessly cobbled together. They are mutually inconsistent and internally flawed. How could such a work be considered worthy of the Academy? Scholars have answered this question in different ways. Some (Furley) argue that the Axiochus is irredeemably confused. Others (Hutchinson) argue that the dialogue belongs to the genre of consolation literature, in which consistency was not expected. More recently, Tim O?Keefe has argued that the dialogue demonstrates the Socratic practice of ?therapeutic inconsistency?, showing readers how to use invalid arguments to induce comforting beliefs. I shall argue that a better solution to the puzzle is available: the Axiochus underscores a long-standing Platonic emphasis on engaging in critical evaluation of arguments even in the face of imminent death. This emphasis was already demonstrated in Plato?s Phaedo by Socrates? commitment to argument when his interlocutors were afraid for him and themselves. It is demonstrated in the Axiochus by the way Socrates repeatedly encourages Axiochus to consider the (inconsistent) arguments he presents. The consolation of the Axiochus, I shall argue, is simply that the practice of reasoning calms fears by setting them to one side.

In this paper, we criticize Deery and Nahmias? analysis of sourcehood by drawing a distinction between two forms of causal invariance that can come into conflict on their account. We conclude that any attempt to resolve this conflict will either result in counterintuitive attributions of moral responsibility or will undermine their response to manipulation arguments. We conclude that while Deery and Nahmias? response to manipulation arguments is ultimately unsuccessful, interventionism is not without import for matters of moral responsibility.
