- 11:00 AM1h 30mECOM Spotlight Series: Prof. Julian SchloederBeliefs, Desires, and ItchesAbstract: According to "success semantics", a belief is true just in case all actions based on it are guaranteed to be successful. This was proposed by JT Whyte as an implementation of pragmatist accounts of truth. Robert Brandom put two significant challenges to success semantics. First, the "impediment problem". No belief ever can guarantee success, as something unforeseen or accidental can always interfere. Second, the Myth of the Given. Whether an action is successful depends on it fulfilling the desire that motivated the action. But the fulfillment of a desire may require one to come into some belief, so success semantics seems circular. I respond to both objections. The impediment problem only requires careful rephrasing of the pragmatic idea. The Myth of the Given requires that belief and desire are mutually dependent. To avoid circularity, the mutual dependence can be grounded in "itches", desires whose fulfillment does not require any cognitive achievement. The resulting picture of cognitive content is apt to explain how complex cognition can arise from much simpler processes.

- 5:00 PM1hVietnam's Buried Colonial Past: Cham and Khmer Voices of SurvivanceThrough the lens of subaltern histories, we will uncover overlooked Cham and Khmer sources that offer a powerful counterpoint to the mainstream narrative of Vietnamese history. These sources reveal stories of dispossession and colonialism, population displacement, the destruction of local powers, and forced cultural and religious assimilation. As part of the session, we'll also examine a rare primary source: a survey on Cambodia prepared for the Vietnamese imperial court in the 1820s-1830s. Between the lines, it reveals Vietnam's deeper ambitions for Cambodia. Notes will be shared in advance, and together we'll debate what it tells us about colonial power. This is an Honors Event.
