Generative Ai And Photographic Transparency, P.D. Magnus
Philosophy Faculty Scholarship
There is a history of thinking that photographs provide a special kind of access to the objects depicted in them, beyond the access that would be provided by a painting or drawing. What is included in the photograph does not depend on the photographer’s beliefs about what is in front of the camera. This feature leads Kendall Walton to argue that photographs literally allow us to see the objects which appear in them. Current generative algorithms produce images in response to users’ text prompts. Depending on the parameters, the output can resemble specific people or things which are named in …

Capitalism, Democracy, And Adam Smith,

Capitalism, Democracy, And Adam Smith, John Thrasher
Philosophy Faculty Articles and Research
How can we better understand the relationship between capitalism and democracy today? This article challenges the prevailing “independence thesis” that views capitalism and democracy as separate and often antagonistic systems. By revisiting Adam Smith’s integrationist approach to political economy, I argue for a more nuanced understanding of the symbiotic relationship between political and economic orders. The article critically examines common responses to the independence thesis – insulation and implementation strategies – and proposes an alternative framework based on Smith’s integrated political economy. This Smithian perspective not only offers a more accurate description of the interdependence between capitalism and democracy but …

Precommentary: Animal Personality Needs Animal Sentience, Ralph Adolphs, Yue Xu
Animal Sentience
We are grateful to Owens, Bryja & Bekoff (2024) for their important discussion of individual differences in animals, emphasizing the role of personality in conservation, wildlife research, and wellbeing. But their emphasis also raises new challenges: How should we conceive of personality in nonhuman species? what modern tools could be leveraged to best measure it? and, perhaps most important of all: how can we ensure that the conscious experience of animals — their capacity for wellbeing and for suffering — is not forgotten along the way? We touch on each of these challenges in this invited Precommentary in the hope …

Does Art Pluralism Lead To Eliminativism?,
2024
University at Albany, State University of New York
Does Art Pluralism Lead To Eliminativism?, P.D. Magnus, Christy Mag Uidhir
Philosophy Faculty Scholarship
Art pluralism is the view that there is no single, correct account of what art is. Instead, art is understood through a plurality of art concepts and with considerations that are different for particular arts. Although avowed pluralists have retained the word “art” in their discussions, it is natural to ask whether the considerations that motivate pluralism should lead us to abandon art talk altogether; that is, should pluralism lead to eliminativism? This paper addresses arguments both for and against this move. We ultimately argue that pluralism allows one to retain the word “art”, if one wants it, but only …

The Hypothesis Of Extended Cognition,
2024
Calvin University
The Hypothesis Of Extended Cognition, Weston Fields
Bouwsma Paper Contest
In the study of philosophy, one is bound to come across some rather counter-intuitive theories about how the world really is. This is especially true when it comes to studies of the mind and consciousness. Despite this, some of these seemingly-outlandish theories often have a good degree of explanatory power, and oftentimes raise complicated moral dilemmas. Both of those things seem to be true of the Hypothesis of Extended Cognition (HEC). In this paper, I will argue that while HEC is an intriguing theory, ultimately, it has what I and many others consider to be fatal flaws. That said, however, …
Suzanne Valadon And The Active Nude,
2024
Rollins College
Suzanne Valadon And The Active Nude, Sophia Foster
Honors Program Theses
This thesis explores how French Modernist artist and prior model Suzanne Valadon disrupted the traditional, phallocentric expectations surrounding the nude genre during the twentieth century. Theorizing on the relationship between the erotic, female nude, and the gaze, it can be concluded that the historic, repetitive visual correlation between women’s nude bodies and eroticism entangles the two concepts so tightly that women’s nude bodies became inherently erotic. The male gaze upon women’s bodies has restricted and policed their identity, since male artists inscribed their bodies as erotic symbols existing for male pleasure and conquest, particularly through the nude genre.This visual media …

Now it is Fire. Winds began our unfinished, prior conversation1 We had to explore those unforgotten experiences. Your long search did not start with your time in Bordeaux nor your memory of that Northeaster welcoming you there and then opening your hymn, Remembrance / Andenken. I had started reading your earlier song of praise, The Rhine / Der Rhein, with great care. After reading Andenken once, preparing for a conversation with you about The Rhein, pursuing anything else was not possible before talking with you about your visit to Bordeaux rivers and vineyards. Expecting, finally, to return to Der Rhein, …

The Role Of Local Knowledge In Climate Change Research,
2024
University of Kentucky
The Role Of Local Knowledge In Climate Change Research, Ryan E. Mccoy
Theses and Dissertations--Philosophy
This dissertation addresses the growing need within climate research for improvements in regional and local climate information. I argue that knowledge gaps in regional climate information constitute a form of climate injustice in which harm largely falls on regions most vulnerable to climate change. Moreover, I show that our current methods for garnering regional climate information fail to provide information on place-specific factors, such as local culture, socio-economic systems, and ecology, which mediate climate change impacts. In order to address these knowledge gaps, as well as provide information necessary for effective mitigation and adaptation, I argue for the inclusion of …

Technical Temporalities Of The Transitional Protest Movements, Talha C. Issevenler
Publications and Research
The concept of political time is unpacked through an analysis of the interactive, technologically mediated field between the state and social movements. The activities of protest movements are set in dialogue with state reason in order to theorize the temporality of political rationality as entangled with political affects (i.e., attachments to past political ideals and unmetabolized/unsymbolized technological propensities).

Addressing Salon Segregation: Structural Racism In The Salon Industry, Jessica S. Willson
Wayne State University Dissertations
In the United States, hair salons remain unofficially segregated by race, reflecting broader patterns of systemic inequality with deep historical roots and contemporary manifestations. This dissertation examines Black hair not merely as a physical attribute but as a profound aspect of cultural identity and personal expression. It aims to illuminate the broader implications of salon segregation, challenging the notion that it is a natural outcome of human preferences or tendencies. Instead, it argues that this segregation is the result of entrenched social processes, deliberate structural racism, and discriminatory policies that cause significant harm to Black individuals. By presenting testimonials from …
