FACULTY OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES "The Speaking Ape: Language and the Logic of Origins in the Nineteenth Century.?

Different approaches to semantic theory might take one of these to be primary, and attempt to explain the others derivatively. For example, much mainstream semantic theorizing takes truth conditions as primary, using them to explain all of entailment, incompatibility, and synonymy. In this talk, I will pursue a different option. Developing ideas from Greg Restall (and, earlier, Christine Ladd-Franklin and Peter Strawson), I will put forward a theory on which incompatibility is taken as primary, and the other notions are seen to be derivative. It's been argued that such an approach cannot make good sense of entailment in particular, essentially because incompatibility is about ruling things *out* while entailment is about ruling things *in*. I will show that this is not the case. By developing a notion of implicit assertion, I will argue that an incompatibility-based approach can give us a solid and useful understanding of entailment.

Moore on Neuroscience, Responsibility and Addiction, 21 March Message-ID: Hi all, Reminder with venue update. Apologies for cross-posting. CAVE invites you to a talk by Michael S. Moore, a leading legal theorist from the University of Illinois College of Law. His talk on Neuroscience, Responsibility and Addiction is based upon a chapter of his forthcoming book. When: 21 March, Thursday; 3:30pm-5:00pm Where: Macquarie University, 09 Wally's Walk (former E6A), 109 Tute Rm (O-22 on the map https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/UxMZCWLJY7i1mmZJH6xoMt?domain=bit.ly) All welcome, no registration required. Michael S. Moore is currently the Charles R. Walgreen, Jr. Chair in Law and Co-Director, Program in Law and Philosophy at the University of Illinois. His areas of scholarly interest include law, jurisprudence, political theory, legal philosophy, political science, economics, philosophy, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience. His publications include Causation and Responsibility: An Essay in Law, Morals, and Metaphysics (Oxford University Press, 2009), Act and Crime: The Philosophy of Action and its Implications for Criminal Law (Oxford University Press, 1993), Placing Blame: A General Theory of the Criminal Law (Oxford University Press, 1997), and Mechanical Choices: The Responsibility of the Human Machine (Oxford University Press, forthcoming), to name a few. A festschrift recently published in his honour, Legal, Moral, and Metaphysical Truth: The Philosophy of Michael S. Moore (K. Ferzan and S Morse, eds; Oxford University Press, 2016) explores Moore's view of the purpose and justification of criminal law, the relationship between that culpability and proximate causation, as well as the intersection of psychiatry, cognitive neuroscience, and criminal law.

Currently, more and more Chinese intellectuals have written about Tianxia as a way of overcoming world problems that have been situated in the very nature of the nation-state system since the Westphalian treaties. This paper tackles the Chinese-style cosmopolitanism that is a currently dominant view among those ideas espoused by the traditional notion of Tianxia. Specifically, this paper is composed of three main parts. First, examining the Chinese-style cosmopolitanism driven by the reinterpretation of Tianxia, I claim that it retains the very fallacy that can be found from Sino-centrism that fails to provide us with a regulative principle that can guide democratic deliberation between countries. Second, analyzing the notions of Tianxia in the other countries surrounding China, I explore a conception of non-domination in which all countries are placed on an equal footing without any center. Finally, I will suggest reciprocal non-domination as a regulative principle under which we can establish a discursive stance without a central hegemon among states, placing the periphery notion of Tianxia into the contemporary debate about global justice.
