DESCRIPTION:The Dorothy Emmet Lectures commemorate Dorothy Emmet\, an emi
 nent mid-20th Century philosopher and head of the Philosophy Department

 ublic and require no prior knowledge of philosophy.\n\nThis year the lec

  go to tinyurl.com/emmet-2020.\n\nWhen: Monday 11 May\, 17.00-18.15 (45 
 mins talk\, 30 mins Q&A)\n\nSpeaker: Jane Heal (Emeritus Professor of Ph
 ilosophy\, University of Cambridge)\n\n*Jane is a Fellow of the British 
 Academy\, and has published extensively on the philosophy of mind and la
 nguage. Alongside work on Wittgenstein and first-person authority (among
 st other things)\, she is perhaps best known for her work on 'simulation
  theory' -- the view that we get to understand other people's minds not 
 by deploying a theory about how minds work but by 'simulating' their tho
 ughts and feelings -- by imaginatively putting ourselves in their shoes 
 and considering what we would think and feel in their position.\n\nTitle
 : On Underestimating “Us”\n\nAbstract: Human beings are social animals. 
 A solitary life would be horrible for most of us. What makes life worthw
 hile is being with others and engaging in shared projects with them. To 
 do justice to these facts\, philosophers (and economists and other socia
 l scientists) need to pay more attention to the first person plural\, we
 /us\, and to rethink their accounts of decision making and of value and 
 virtue.
