Title: Suki Finn (Southampton)
The Metaphysics of Pregnancy
One of the central questions in the metaphysics of pregnancy is this: Is
the fetus a part of, or contained by, the gestator? In this paper I seek
not to answer this question, but rather to highlight various alternative
mereotopological options for the fetus-gestator relationship and to raise
methodological concerns regarding how to adjudicate between these options.
Should we be looking for evidence and data within the realm of metaphysics
or the philosophy of biology? Should we be learning about pregnancy from
our philosophical and scientific theories or should we update our theories
based upon what we otherwise know about pregnancy? My positive suggestion
will be to adopt a method of reflective equilibrium. The aim of this is to
ensure that pregnancy be included in the tribunal of experience to which
our theories are held up against such that our theories can accommodate
what we say about pregnancy, whilst also ensuring that what we say about
pregnancy be theoretically informed.
NB: Tea starts at 15:15...there will be tim tams....
