WiP - Hallie Liberto / Unbinding threats

Philosophy Wednesday, October 28, 2026 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Skinner Building, 1116

October 28, Hallie leads to our Work-in-Progress meeting with discussion of Unbinding Threats. These, argues Hallie, are a particular kind of non-commissive threat, that play a special role in coercive schemes, especially in institutional settings, and disrupt some of the standard assumptions that both moral philosophers and philosophers of language make about threat-making.
