SUMMARY:Center for Public Philosophy: High School Ethics Bowl
DESCRIPTION:What is an Ethics Bowl? \nThe Ethics Bowl is a collaborative yet competitive event\, more nuanced than debate\, in which teams are presented with a series of wide-ranging ethical dilemmas and are asked to analyze them; they are then judged on the basis of their analyses. An exciting tournament\, it is also a way for students to gain valuable insight into ethical and philosophical issues. According to Michael Steinmann\, director of the Stevens Institute High School Ethics Bowl\, the events promote intellectual\, personal\, and social growth. They deepen students’ understanding of the complexity of ethical issues; increase their sense of personal responsibility; and promote a model of rational\, civil discourse so essential to functioning democracies. \nDuring each round\, a moderator poses a question to two teams composed of five students and the competition follows a predetermined format encompassing team order and time limitations. All teams receive the cases and questions in fall so that they can prepare their responses with their coaches. The panel of judges includes not only those with philosophy backgrounds but businesspeople\, politicians\, and members of various professions in the community to underscore the fact that ethics is not simply an academic subject. We will also invite the press to attend. Each team will have the opportunity to compete in several rounds to advance to the semifinals and then the championship round. The winners of the competition (and their schools) will receive special recognition. \nThe ethical dilemmas used in a high school ethics bowl range from those particularly relevant to young students (questions about cheating\, plagiarism\, peer pressure\, use and abuse of social media\, the right to privacy\, relationship responsibilities) to political and social issues (free speech\, gun control\, eco-tourism) and bioethical issues (cloning\, parental consent). \nFree and open to the public. \nSchedule: \n8:45-8:55am – Welcome\n9:00-10:00am – Round 1\n10:30–11:30am – Round 2\n12:00-1:00pm – Round 3\n1:00-2:00pm – Lunch\n2:00-2:30pm – Announce Semi-Finalists\n2:45-3:45pm – Semi-Final Round\n4:00-5:00pm – Final Round  \n

SUMMARY:Ram Neta: "Puzzle of Transparency"
DESCRIPTION:The Puzzle of Transparency\nAs you and I are out for a walk\, I notice that the sky is getting cloudier and so I ask you “do you believe that it’s going to rain?” In response to this question\, you normally do not pay attention to your own states of mind\, but rather to the way the sky looks and the air feels. But if I’m asking about what you believe\, then shouldn’t you pay attention to your own state of mind\, instead of to your perceptible environment? Some philosophers claim that\, when I utter the interrogative sentence “do you believe that it’s going to rain?”\, I’m not curious about your state of mind\, but only about the weather. But this is false: I could ask you the very same question even if I happen to know perfectly well that it’s going to rain\, and I’m just curious what you make of the current weather conditions. So\, if I’m asking about your beliefs\, why do you normally answer me by paying attention to the weather instead of paying attention to your state of mind? In order to answer this question\, I argue\, we will have to admit that the capacity to represent one’s own mental states can make a metaphysical difference to the nature of those states. \n  \nRam Neta is a Professor of Philosophy at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He specializes in epistemology and is currently at work on a book on the nature of knowledge. In particular\, he is trying to understand what knowledge is by examining the various ways in which knowing some things depends upon knowing other things. \n  \nAdvanced Reading: The Puzzle of Transparency

SUMMARY:Martina Wiltschko: "Nominal speech act structure. A personal view."
DESCRIPTION:The concept of person is in many ways tied to speech acts. This is obvious just by exploring the interpretation of\npronouns: 1st person pronouns are used to refer to the speaker\, 2nd person pronouns are used to refer to the addressee\,\nand 3rd person is used for individuals other than the speech act participants. Another way in which person plays a\nrole for speech acts has to with the fact that in much of the current literature that seeks to “syntacticize speech acts”\n(Ross 1970\, Speas and Tenny 2003\, Zu 2013\, Miyagawa 2017\, a.o.) speech act participants are part of the syntactic\nrepresentation of sentences\, as evidenced\, for example\, by speaker or addressee-agreement. However\, 1st and\n2nd person pronouns can receive an impersonal interpretation (Gruber 2013\, Zobel 2014) while still triggering\ngrammatical agreement for 1st and 2nd person. This suggests that there are at least two notions of person: one purely\ngrammatical and the other pragmatic in nature. \nIn this talk I examine yet another way in which person may be tied to speech acts. In particular\, assuming the well-\nestablished parallel between the functional architecture of clauses and nominal projections (Chomsky 1970\, Abney \n1987\, Grimshaw 2005\, Rijkhoff 2008)\, we might expect that – just as clauses – nominal projections too are\ndominated by a dedicated speech act structure. Specifically\, I will argue that the arguments of (clausal and nominal)\nspeech act structure do not correspond to speech act participants directly\, but instead they correspond to each speech\nact participant’s ‘ground’ – hence I assume a speaker- and addressee-oriented projection. The function of this layer\nof structure is to encode the mutual process of grounding – the joint activity which allows interlocutors to establish\ncommon ground. To support this hypothesis\, I review literature from dialogue based frameworks according to which\nreferring to an individual is a collaborative effort between speaker and addressee (Clark and Wilkes-Gibbs 1986\,\nClark and Bangerter 2004). With this as my background assumption\, I discuss the implications of the nominal\nspeech act hypothesis for a number of empirical phenomena including: impersonals\, logophors\, and social deixis. \nMartina Wiltschko is Professor of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia.

SUMMARY:Steven Haug: "Community in Heidegger's Philosophy of Art"
DESCRIPTION:In order for a work of art to be great\, according to Heidegger\, at least one of the conditions it must meet is the community condition. While this condition is discussed much less in the literature than the relation of art to truth in Heidegger\, it is of more consequence. It is art’s inability to meet the community condition which led Heidegger to conclude that art since the Middle Ages is not great art. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of the community condition in Heidegger’s philosophy of art and explain just what the condition is. \nSteven Haug is a philosophy Phd student who works primarily on the philosophy of art\, especially 20th century German philosophy of art. His most recent project focuses on elucidating the importance of community in Heidegger’s philosophy of art. \nFriday Forum is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. Friday Forum is supported by the Graduate Student Association\, the Humanities Institute\, and the following departments: HAVC\, Literature\, and History of Consciousness. \nFor questions\, email fridayforum.ucsc@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Questions That Matter:"Freedom and Race"
DESCRIPTION:America has famously been called “the land of the free\,” and yet when the “Star Spangled Banner” was written\, people of African descent were enslaved within its borders\, including by the song’s own author\, Francis Scott Key. Today\, the relationship between freedom and race continues to vex the United States and the rest of the world. Join us for a frank and thoughtful discussion of this question that matters. \nFeaturing: \nJennifer González is a Professor of History of Art and Visual Culture at UCSC. She writes about contemporary art with an emphasis on installation art\, digital art and activist art. She is interested in understanding the strategic use of space (exhibition space\, public space\, virtual space) by contemporary artists and by cultural institutions such as museums. More specifically\, she has focused on the representation of the human body and its relation to discourses of race and gender. \nTyler Stovall is a Distinguished Professor of History and Dean of Humanities at UCSC\, as well as the current President of the American Historical Association. His work centers on questions of race and class\, blackness\, postcolonial history\, and transnational history as applied to modern and twentieth century France\, and covers a wide range of topics from the Paris suburbs to black American expatriates in France to the French Caribbean. \nModerated by: \nNathaniel Deutsch \nDirector of The Humanities Institute \n \nQuestions that Matter “Freedom and Race” from IHR on Vimeo. \n  \n  \nTUESDAY\, JANUARY 30\, 2018 \nKuumbwa Jazz Center – Directions and Parking Details  \n$15 Ticket \n6pm – Wine and hors d’oeuvres reception \n7pm – Program \nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact The Humanities Institute at thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-1274. \nBuy Tickets \n  \nQuestions That Matter: A Series of Public Dialogues in Santa Cruz\nA public humanities series developed by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz and the community of Santa Cruz – bringing together two or more UC Santa Cruz scholars with community residents and students to explore questions that matter to all of us. The series is a part of a strategic initiative of the Institute to champion the role and value of the humanities in contemporary life. At the University of California Santa Cruz\, we understand that the humanities are a crucial element of any first-rate liberal arts education. Indeed\, what distinguishes the best universities in the United States is the fact that the humanities are an integral part of their core curriculum\, along with the arts and sciences. The series is designed as a lecture and conversation\, with plenty of time built in for participant questions and answers. We invite you to join us on January 30\, 2018 at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center for “Freedom and Race.”
