<br>
Christopher Hom (<span class="st">University of California, Irvine)</span><br>
Robert May (<span class="st">University of California)</span></p><p> Abstract :</p><p style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Moral innocence </em>is the circumstance that facts like that no Jews are kikes, that there are no kikes, but that there are Jews obtain.<br>
<em>Semantic innocence </em>is the truth-conditional reflection of
moral innocence ; it is the circumstance that the corresponding
sentences “No Jews are kikes”, “There are no kikes” and “There are Jews”
are jointly true. Our goal in this paper is to explore moral innocence
from the perspective of semantic innocence, and then defend it from
moral corruption. We present an account of the meanings of pejorative
terms and the truth-conditions of sentences that contain them, based on
the contention that pejorative terms have empty extensions, and explore
the corresponding semantic knowledge, such that competent, rational
speaker of a language can know the meaning of a pejorative without being
committed to, or even complicit with, racist attitudes. Our analysis
rests upon an articulation of pejorative words as the superficial
realization of underlyingly complex lexical forms, and their connection
to certain, a priori, moral facts. We discuss the contrast of semantic
innocence with identity-expressivism, the view that pairs like “kike”
and “Jew” do not differ in their truth-conditional contributions.</p></div></p>
