DESCRIPTION Although philosophers have explored metaphysical questions related to pregnancy – most obviously abortion and the metaphysical status of the fetus – little philosophical attention has been paid to pregnancy itself. That is a remarkable omission because pregnancy raises important philosophical problems in metaphysics, ethics and epistemology: should the foetus be regarded as part of or ‘merely surrounded by’ the mother? If persons can be parts of other persons, what does this imply for bodily ownership and personal and numerical identity? What special rights and duties does the unique status of pregnancy bestow? Does the radically transformative character of pregnancy mean that those who have never been pregnant are excluded from certain kinds of knowledge about pregnancy and its consequences? This workshop explores the implications of pregnancy for personal identity and personal ontology. This workshop is one of a series of four in the project Taking Pregnancy Seriously in Metaphysics, Ethics & Epistemology, funded by the Southampton Ethics Centre and the University of Southampton ‘Adventures in Research’ Scheme, with added support from the British Society for Philosophy of Science and the Aristotelian Society. It is preceded by another workshops on Metaphysics, on ‘the foetus and the maternal organism’ on the 21st of Julyhttp://www.southampton.ac.uk/philosophy/news/events/2015/07/21-the-foetus-and-the-maternal-organism.page?, and, prior to that, two workshops on Ethics and Epistemology on the 18th of June 2014 and the 13th of April 2015. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.southampton.ac.uk_philosophy_research_projects_taking-2Dpregnancy-2Dseriously.page-23events&d=BQIF-g&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=ABqefVebEffNgCcaECyfu4tfbj5c_vnvwwCD27TRuNsCw7XUm4vdAdBNOg5-O_je&m=dmcukwELgyhJDhwhqyAGYm4UZmYBNSr5p27-aR0km9g&s=S2TMAN55TfqIppRXFPO_g9plnHtXJO72WCf3wl8YoRM&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.southampton.ac.uk_philosophy_research_projects_taking-2Dpregnancy-2Dseriously.page-2523events&d=BQIF-g&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=ABqefVebEffNgCcaECyfu4tfbj5c_vnvwwCD27TRuNsCw7XUm4vdAdBNOg5-O_je&m=dmcukwELgyhJDhwhqyAGYm4UZmYBNSr5p27-aR0km9g&s=1CRp7aD_gNlj2p5DTw5JdWLW0Vn54e58nD5TyR52Y00&e= > REGISTRATION Registration is free of charge, and will include tea/coffee/refreshments.
