 \n'The Moral Virtue of Social Consciousness'\n	\n	Friday\, January 27\, 2023
 \n	3:30-5:30 PM EST\n	Leacock 927\n\nAbstract: Social consciousness – which 
 amounts to something like ‘being woke’ – is a cognitive sensitivity to soc
 ial injustices in one’s local environment and broader culture. From here\,
  social consciousness can be accounted for in a variety of ways. Recently\
 , it’s been suggested that we can understand social consciousness through 
 the lens of moral encroachment: to be social consciousness is to fulfill a
  moral duty to believe in accordance with the dictates of moral encroachme
 nt. After considering this account\, I raise a few worries: it involves co
 ntroversial theoretical commitments\, entails unintuitive verdicts in impo
 rtant cases\, and appears to be too demanding. In light of these worries\,
  I develop a new account of social consciousness: social consciousness is 
 a morally virtuous cognitive disposition that manifests primarily in certa
 in doxastic states. I argue that the virtue account not only captures impo
 rtant intuitions about social consciousness\, but also weathers the worrie
 s that trouble the encroachment account.\n
