Pre-talk at 2PM in the Philosophy Common Room. All honours and graduate

"A Dispositional Account of Ordinary Objects"
It is not uncommon to encounter dispositional accounts of concepts or
properties. Mark Johnston, for instance, has defended a dispositional
account of colour concepts, whilst David Lewis has defended a dispositional
account of value. I begin by sketching Johnston and Lewis' dispositional
accounts and examining what motivates them to endorse such accounts. I,
then, examine the feasibility of endorsing a dispositional account of
ordinary objects. What would such an account look like? What motivation
is there for endorsing a dispositional account of ordinary objects? What
are the costs of endorsing such an account? I suggest that the advantages
outweigh the costs and, thus, that we should endorse a dispositional
account of ordinary objects.
