SUMMARY:Mary Shepherd's Philosophy at 200
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a two-day workshop on the philosophy of Mary Shepherd (1777-1847)\, co-organized by Jonny Cottrell and Donald Ainslie. Please direct any questions about this event to Jonny Cottrell. \nMary Shepherd (1777–1847) was a Scottish philosopher who engaged with numerous scientific and philosophical issues of her era within an especially rich intellectual context. Dividing her time between Edinburgh and London\, her intellectual network involved an impressive list of leading philosophical\, literary and scientific figures. In her work she advocates a systematic metaphysics and theory of knowledge highly regarded by her contemporaries. Well versed in the doctrines of leading eighteenth century British empiricists\, she finds them unable to sustain scientific inquiry\, everyday practical reasoning\, and belief in an almighty deity. She aims to replace them with a theory of perceptual knowledge that is reliable and supported by reasons. She urges a theory on which sensation\, the reception of impressions by means of the senses\, and understanding\, the ability to deploy ideas that represent entities distinct from impressions\, work together to yield perceptual knowledge. In this respect\, her system is more like that of Kant than those of her other predecessors. But her doctrines express a highly distinctive analysis of perception and the reality of its objects. Causality is the center of her metaphysical and epistemic systems. \nSCHEDULE\nThursday\, June 13\, 2024 (JHB 100)\n2:30–2:35 \nWelcome \nShepherd’s Critique of Hume\n2:35–3:50      \nDon Garrett (NYU)\, “Shepherd’s ‘Foundational’ Principles: Controverting the Doctrine of Mr. Hume?” \n3:50–4:15      \nCoffee Break \nShepherd’s Metaphysics\n4:15–5:30 \nAriel Melamedoff (NYU)\, “Identity\, Manifestation\, Inclusion: The Structure of Shepherd’s Causal Relation” \n  \nFriday\, June 14\, 2024 (JHB 418)\nShepherd’s Epistemology\n 9:30–10:45    \nMaité Cruz (Union College)\, “Unforked: Shepherd on Mathematical and Empirical Knowledge” \n10:45–11:00   \nCoffee Break \n 11:00–12:15   \nAntonia LoLordo (Virginia)\, “Knowledge of the Self and Knowledge of the External World in Shepherd” \n12:15–2:00 \nLunch Break \nShepherd’s Enduring Relevance\n2:00–3:15 \nLouise Daoust (Eckerd College)\, “Indirectness and Immediacy: Shepherd’s Theory of Perception” \n3:15–3:45 \nCoffee Break \n3:45–5:00 \nJessica Wilson (Toronto)\, “Mary Shepherd’s Metaphysics of Causation” \n  \nThe organizers gratefully acknowledge the support of the Department of Philosophy and the Vice Dean Research\, Faculty of Arts and Sciences\, the University of Toronto. \n
