Philosophy talk 11/8 @ 3:00 p.m.: McElroy on narrative
intelligibility
COLLOQUIUM
sponsored
by the Millsaps Department of Philosophy
and
the Millsaps Philosophy Club
PEYTON
McELROY (PhD, Stanford University)
“What
Is This Endless Set of Meaningless Experiences
Trying
to Teach Me?”
Narrative
Intelligibility as Represented Development of Purpose
Abstract
Philosophers disagree on the nature of narrative intelligibility. Some think
narratives have a theoretical function since they seem to order represented
events so as to provide explanation. Others argue that the function of
narrative is primarily aesthetic inasmuch as narratives are often designed for
emotional effect and need not consist of causally related representations.
I argue against the aesthetic emphasis of Velleman et al. that narrative
representations of events are arranged around perceived aims. A narrative
recounting of what happened is shaped by the organizing principle of agent
purpose. Narrative helps us “get inside the mind” of some agent, which makes it
a useful tool for collaboration and conflict resolution. When we tell “life
stories” we select sets of events that track the development of our particular
projects. We do this to gain control over experiences that threaten to be
meaningless.

Saffron Cross Events
Author J. Dana Trent and her husband Fred Eaker will join the Millsaps College community for a series of events on Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9.
“The possibility that I’d get matched with anyone who wasn’t a Christian is minute, anyway, right?”
“Right,” God giggled.
Saffron Cross is the intriguing memoir of Dana, a Baptist minister, and Fred, a devout Hindu and former monk. The two meet on eHarmony and begin a sometimes daunting but ultimately inspiring journey of interfaith relationship and marriage. Trent’s compelling vignettes, often hilarious and refreshingly honest, offer readers a glimpse into the challenges of bringing together two vastly different spiritual paths into one household. This book includes chapters on an Indian ashram honeymoon, vegetarianism, sabbath-keeping, prayer, and grief, plus other challenges of interfaith relationships.
Friday Forum Lecture: 12:30-1:30pm on Friday, November 8 in the Academic Complex, room 215
Millsaps Multi-Faith Initiative Conversation: 3:00-4:00pm on Friday, November 8 in the Christian Center, Fitzhugh Memorial Chapel
Writing as a Spiritual Discipline Workshop: 9:00am-12:30pm on Saturday, November 9 in Sullivan-Harrell Hall, room 221 -- Register online here: saffronatmillsaps.eventbrite.com
Community Conversation: Co-sponsored with Northminster Baptist Church and the Hindu Temple Society of Mississippi – 3:00-4:30pm on Saturday, November 9 at the Hindu Temple, 173 Vernon Jones Ave., Brandon, MS
