Aims and Norms: Action Event

Part of the Aims and Norms research project .

The second workshop will 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?

11:15-12:45 Nishi Shah (Amherst), 'Attitudinal Norms', respondent: Anders Nes (CSMN)
