Places of Experiment and Disorder in Restoration London Abstract: Some of the most canonical work on sites of experiment in Restoration London, and indeed on the ?place of experiment? more generally, has been largely concerned with settings that offered particularly rich resources for severing experiments from ambient vices, and forging authoritative connections with powerful virtues. Thus, Robert Boyle?s ?house of experiment? has been looted for the various ways it could be ?managed? ? its output ?witnessed? and its access ?controlled? ? to secure experiments among sociabilities instantiating the political priorities of the restored Stuart monarchy. But even in the wake of the civil war, it was not long before experiments could be seen emerging from settings of conflict and chaos, settings evincing the fragility of the new order. Experiments were not only conspicuously associated with such troublesome settings, they often depended on them for their very performance. In this talk, I will look at how the dispersal of experiments into these less sanctified corners of metropolitan life, and their entanglement with perceived threats to the restored peace, could produce scepticism about the worth of experiment itself. Rather than viewing experiments as a solution to the problem of social order, I will explore how disorder could be one of their most essential and provoking features.

The leading answer in ethics is that value might vary with context: A can have a higher value when compared to B than when compared to C. I argue that nontransitivity is possible even if values don?t vary, so long as they are complex, with multiple dimensions aggregated non-additively. I then explore a new hypothesis: that all alleged cases of nontransitive betterness, such as Parfit?s Repugnant Conclusion, can and should be modeled as the result of complexity, not context-relativity.----------------Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/82620418372Or iPhone one-tap :    US: +13126266799,,82620418372# or +13462487799,,82620418372# Or Telephone:    Dial(for higher quality, dial a number based on your current location)?        US: +1 312 626 6799 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 646 558 8656 or +1 669 900 6833 or +1 253 215 8782 or +1 301 715 8592     Meeting ID: 826 2041 8372    International numbers available: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/u/kchTAjTi8UOr an H.323/SIP room system:    Dial: 82620418372 at zoom.aarnet.edu.au    or SIP:82620418372 at zmau.us    or 103.122.166.55    Meeting ID: 82620418372Or Skype for Business (Lync):    https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/skype/82620418372Need help using Zoom?

A standard version of this view maintains that desires can be an awareness of value analogous to perception. This view explains the rational character of desire-based judgment and action, and why desires can stop the regress of practical justification. However, these explanatory payoffs are threatened by the observation that while perception represents the actual environment, desires often represent non-actual states. How could a desire be a quasi-perceptual awareness of the value of a non-actual state? I propose an answer to this question that centrally involves the imagination. Every desire for a non-actual state involves imagining what that prospect would be like. Imagining, when subject to certain constraints, provides an accurate and unified view of the lower-order properties of a prospect. This allows for a discrimination of the values supervening on those lower-order properties. An accurate and unified imagining of a prospect places the agent in the epistemic position to be aware of the value of that prospect. My account shows how desires for non-actual states could involve an awareness of value which secures the explanatory payoffs of the guise of the good. Bio: Kael McCormack-Skewes is a PhD candidate at UNSW whose research focuses on moral psychology. In particular, his thesis examines the role desire plays in grounding knowledge of value.

We claim that they also play a less obvious but important role in solving certain coordination problems and social dilemmas that arise during pandemics. This role is both ethically and epistemically valuable. However, it also gives rise to an underappreciated dilemma, as the features that make models good at solving coordination problems are often at odds with the features that make for a good scientific model.  We examine and develop this dilemma in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and suggest extensions to other domains.----------------Join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/82420438254Or iPhone one-tap :    US: +12532158782,,82420438254# or +13017158592,,82420438254# Or Telephone:    Dial(for higher quality, dial a number based on your current location)?        US: +1 253 215 8782 or +1 301 715 8592 or +1 312 626 6799 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 646 558 8656 or +1 669 900 6833     Meeting ID: 824 2043 8254    International numbers available: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/u/kWH3ylBeeOr an H.323/SIP room system:    Dial: 82420438254 at zoom.aarnet.edu.au    or SIP:82420438254 at zmau.us    or 103.122.166.55    Meeting ID: 82420438254Or Skype for Business (Lync):    https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/skype/82420438254Need help using Zoom?
