DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract: Comparisons of Hume&rsquo\;s and Kant&rsquo\;s theories of practical reason usually focus on their function for ethical theorizing: Can reason determine which practical goals we ought to realize from a moral point of view? Famously\, Kant claims that it can\, whereas Hume denies it\, ascribing to reason a merely instrumental function. In this talk\, I focus on the functions of Hume&rsquo\;s and Kant&rsquo\;s accounts of practical reason for the empirical human sciences. I first address some mostly insignificant similarities between their views (part I) and then turn to significant dissimilarities (part II). In the latter part\, I show how Kant&rsquo\;s account is superior to Hume&rsquo\;s instrumentalism in three ways: (1) for purposes of empirical action-explanation\, Kant&rsquo\;s account of hypothetical imperatives more fine-grained than Hume&rsquo\;s instrumentalism\; (2) the specific concept of pragmatic reason presents a better understanding of how descriptive and normative aspects of action are connected from the agent&rsquo\;s points of view\; and (3) pragmatic reason helps to show how the human sciences are related to idea(l)s of human progress\, such as cosmopolitanism.</p>\n<p>Zoom link: https://uw-edu-pl.zoom.us/j/94186474563</p>\n<p>Meeting ID: 941 8647 4563</p>\n<p>Passcode: 048247</p>
