Details
As part of its Aims and Norms project (see below), Philosophy at
Southampton will host a one-day workshop on January 20th 2012. The
workshop seeks to address such questions as: Is there an aim of action?
For example, do all actions aims at the good, or at the satisfaction of
one’s desires, or at self-knowledge? Can norms of action be understood
by appeal to such aims?
Speakers:
Maria Alvarez (KCL), title TBA
Matthew Chrisman (Edinburgh), 'Oughts without Ends?'
Nishi Shah (Amherst), title TBA
Conor McHugh (Southampton), 'Does Intention Have An Aim?'
