SUMMARY:Affective Social Perception
DESCRIPTION:Moral perceptualism is the view that our perceptual systems are
  attuned to pick up on some moral properties. According to a controversial
  version\, perceptual experiences represent moral properties. Traditionall
 y\, arguments for moral perceptualism have been conducted primarily from t
 he armchair\, and its attractive upshots for moral epistemology and moral 
 psychology have been central to whatever appeal it has. But the traditiona
 l approach has also left many of us skeptical. In this talk\, we take a di
 fferent approach. We initially argue not for moral perceptualism\, but rat
 her for affective social perceptualism: the claim that our perceptual syst
 ems assign affective valence to social events. The central argument employ
 s a “hallmarks approach” and draws on perception science to argue that
  valence perception and social perception (separately and when combined in
  one episode) exhibit all the hallmarks of perception: speed\, automaticit
 y\, contrastive adaptation\, etc. We then introduce two models of affectiv
 e social perception. In one model\, perception assigns thin (positive/nega
 tive) evaluative properties to social events. In the other\, perception as
 signs thick (harm/help) evaluative properties to social events. Finally\, 
 we argue that the empirical data supporting these models provides novel re
 sponses to a common objection against social/moral perception: the objecti
 on that socio-evaluative properties are not perceivable because they lack 
 a distinctive “look”. The emerging picture of affective social percept
 ion gives it a central role in our social and moral lives.
