Abstract: \;

\n

In this talk I consider the Kantian idea that theoretical commitments regarding what \;exists \;can at times be wholly based in practical considerations regarding what \;ought to be the case. \; I argue that at least one variety of a broadly Kantian &ldquo\;moral argument&rdquo\; has some real attractions. \; Along the way I compare the Kantian picture to some &ldquo\;encroachment&rdquo\; theories in contemporary philosophy (i.e. theories according to which practical stakes affect whether or not we have knowledge of certain theoretical propositions).
