Dear all, A reminder that Minorities and Philosophy are hosting Dr Paulina Sliwa for a talk on 'Hermeneutical Advice'. This is at 4:30pm today in the Board Room of the Faculty of Philosophy (Raised Faculty Building, Sidgwick Site).
Attendees are invited to join Dr Sliwa and the MAP organisers for dinner afterwards. https://www.facebook.com/events/2291661157732071/ Abstract: "There is a common complaint about relying on moral testimony about moral questions. Testimony, the complaint says, can do cognitive but not emotional work. We might come to know what the right thing to do is, but we won't come to feel the right way about it. I argue that this underestimates the power of moral testimony. I develop an account of an important but overlooked kind of moral testimony: hermeneutical advice. I suggest that we rely on hermeneutical advice when we rely on others to make sense of our moral experience. Hermeneutical advice, I argue, changes both hearts and minds."
