The parts of madness in Plato's Phaedrus Message-ID: Dear All, The next in the online HPS Research Seminar Series will be presented by James Ley, University of Sydney. Monday 14th September, 2020 from 5pm Title: Cutting nature at the joints, or just chunking it? The parts of madness in Plato's Phaedrus. Abstract: I will argue that philosophers and historians of science should avoid the talk of cutting nature at the joints that they derive from the passage at 265e in Plato's Phaedrus. They should avoid this talk because a wider reading of the Phaedrus suggests that Plato confuses the metacognitive division of information described as 'chunking' by George A. Miller for a metaphysical division of nature into real or true kinds. I will trace some of the implications of this confusion by looking at the classification of the parts of madness that Plato produces in the Phaedrus and our present efforts to provide a proper classification of mental disorders.

One such context is the workplace. In this talk I explore the relevance of epistemic injustice to women surgeons? experiences of work, drawing on data from an empirical interview study. I argue that epistemic injustice understood narrowly (as Miranda Fricker has described it, focusing on testimonial and hermeneutical injustice) is only applicable to a fraction of the wrongs experienced by women surgeons in their capacity as knowers. In surgery, credibility tracks the skilled performance of the worker: arguably the knowledge that matters most to patients (and employers such as hospitals) is not the surgeon?s propositional knowledge, but their ability to enact knowledge of disease and anatomy through the successful hands-on performance of an operation. Successful performance of surgery moreover requires successful interactions with skilled colleagues (e.g. anaesthetists, nurses and technicians), while successful care of patients requires interpersonal and communication skills. The practice of surgery, then, defies simple analysis in terms of knowledge and credibility. I use the case to illuminate both strengths and limitations of the theoretical lens of epistemic injustice in applied contexts.---------------Hi there, michael.nielsen at sydney.edu.au is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
