Meeting Description:

Perspectival plurality is the phenomenon whereby a sentence containing two or
more ''perspectival expressions'' (predicates of taste, epistemic modals,
aesthetic adjectives, moral terms, epistemic vocabulary etc.) requires access
to two or more perspectives for its semantic interpretation (example: ''We
took the kids to a resort in Italy this summer. The wine was delicious and the
water slide was great fun.'' (Kneer 2015)). This phenomenon has been taken to
raise problems both for contextualism (Lasersohn 2009) and for relativism
(Kneer, Vicente and Zeman 2017) about such expressions. However, neither the
range of the phenomenon nor it's various manifestations have been extensively
studied. This workshop purports to contribute towards that aim. In the same
connection, questions about how treatment of the phenomenon in relation to
speech and attitude reports will be tackled, as well as about ''the
acquaintance principle'' (the idea that one can use perspectival expressions
felicitously only after having certain experiences of the relevant objects).

Among the main questions tackled by the presentations at the workshop are the
following:
- How robust and widespread is perspectival plurality?
- What are the best accounts of it?
- What problems does perspectival plurality raise to extant semantic accounts
of perspectival expressions?
- What is the best account of speech and attitudes reports that can be
extended to cover this phenomenon? 
- What is the status of ''the acquaintance principle''? Etc.

ORGANIZATION

The workshop is part of the project Semantic Relativism about Perspectival
Expressions: A Reassessment and Defense
(OPUS 17 project no. 2019/33/B/HS1/01269) and is organized by Dan Zeman, with
the support of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Warsaw. The workshop
will be in hybrid form.
