but that a minority thinks the role of voting is to express views on the public good, for example.
So, I mean, y you can see already the conflict there, but
What can you say about legitimacy when the divergence goes all the way down to the role of the form of government which you're trying to show was legitimate in the first place?
Do you think that given the threat that global corporations and global inequality poses even to national interests, there's any reason to expand democracy to the global case, or is there good reason to keep it confined to the national?
And I'm Emily Dupree.
So we thought it would be wise to begin before we started talking about the substance of your view, begin first with just um
Maybe you can comment on the difficulties with writing about pejorative expressions to begin with, whether we use the expressions in our work or if we refer to them in some sort of opaque way, um and where you stand on this and why.
So in saying that a sentence with a group designator versus the associated pejorative have differing truth values, um, what explains the difference in truth value?
And just to clarify, this is a fact because of the underlying a priori moral principle that there is no person such that they're subject to these negative moral evaluations.
When I was reading your paper I was struck by how different my intuitions were about what was happening with pejoratives.
So my intuition was that a pejorative expression
doesn't have a meaning at all.
And in fact when there's a sentence in which a pejorative expression occurs, what's really happening is that there is some sort of corresponding sentence that's maybe implicitly expressed in which the pejorative expression is is replaced by just the regular group term.
And
then there's this associated kind of punch in the face that goes along with the original utterance.
And I use punch in the face as the example because it it's the sort of thing that is outside of the space of meaning.
It can't have an extension at all and seems to be more in line with
why pejoratives exist in the first place, which is I take it to be um ways to assert power.
Maybe if you could just comment on what you think the difference is between these two views and why why you go your way.
Right.
