Some reflections from Daoist philosophy Freedom is a fundamental aspect of human life, to the extent that we consider the deprivation of certain freedoms a moral wrong. An ancient Daoist text, the Zhuangzi (4th c BCE), was deeply critical of the approaches to government in its day, suggesting that they promoted a way of life that was akin to binding people in shackles. By contrast, there are many images in the Zhuangzi of a life that is free, of soaring birds, and of people with remarkable achievements because their lives are not rule- or norm-governed. But a critical question arises for readers of the Zhuangzi: how can we be free? In other words, without our former guides on how life should be lived, what informs our actions and decisions? Are there new principles to replace the old, or are there now no limits to our actions? How can we equip ourselves to make the most of this new-found freedom? I discuss the Zhuangzi's stories which present models of how we can freely navigate the world.

Answering this question is important for evaluating various practices, including the practice of offsetting carbon emissions. We've recently defended an answer to this question, which carries the practical implication that whether emitting and offsetting is permissible can depend on the form that the offsetting takes. If you offset by sequestering, such that you remove as much carbon from the atmosphere as you put in (for example by planting trees), then according to our view you can successfully offset. But when you offset by forestalling?preventing others from putting additional carbon into the atmosphere (for example by paying them not to emit, or providing them with more energy efficient stoves), you typically cannot. After explaining our view and considering some objections that others have presented to it, we introduce and discuss an important distinction between various harms to which your conduct can be causally related.

Zoom link: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/89100721621*In-person in the seminar room and simulcast via Zoom*I introduce an argument for mathematical Platonism based on intra-mathematical explanation: the explanation of one mathematical fact by another. The argument is important for two reasons. First, if the argument succeeds then it provides a basis for Platonism that does not proceed via standard indispensability considerations. Second, if the argument fails it can only do so for one of three reasons: either because there are no intra-mathematical explanations, or because not all explanations are backed by dependence relations, or because some form of noneism---the view according to which non-existent entities possess properties and stand in relations---is true. The argument thus forces a choice between nominalism without noneism, intra-mathematical explanation and a backing conception of explanation. You can have any two, but not all three.  When: Wed 30 Mar 2022 15:30 ? 17:00 Eastern Australia Time - Sydney Where: Philosophy Seminar Room Calendar: Seminars Who: * elhulme at gmail.com- creator Event details: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/C2YJCyojxQTNzPEZnSZTZ9_?domain=calendar.google.com Invitation from Google Calendar: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/mSlRCzvkyVCRpYv6LsX11kU?domain=calendar.google.com You are receiving this email at the account sydphil at arts.usyd.edu.au because you are subscribed for notifications on calendar Seminars.
