PRACTICAL REASON
This course will explore the nature and significance of our capacity for practical reason, focusing on a variety of questions: What we should want from a philosophical account of practical reason (should it be descriptive or normative, for example)? Are reasons causes? What does practical reason require? What is the relation between rationality and morality? How can practical reasoning fail? We will pursue these and related questions through a variety of historical and contemporary texts.

ADV TPCS IN PHILOSOPHY OF MIND
Abstract entities (numbers, sets, functions) and norms (norms for judgment and moral norms) raise multiple puzzles. Is their existence in some way dependent upon us and our choices and actions? If so, how? If not, what is it for these abstract entities and norms to exist? And how can we know about them? Do we have to give the same kind of answer for abstract entities as for norms? Do these questions have to be answered differently for different kinds of abstract entities, or for different kinds of norms? These are the questions we will be addressing.
