Undergrad Seminar: Striving and the Nature of Belief

4 credits · Undergraduate

We will focus on an in-progress book manuscript by Jennifer Morton and Sarah Paul on the phenomenon of striving - both on one's own and together with others - and its relations to our beliefs about ourselves.  This will include reflection on foundational issues in epistemology about the nature and justification of belief and related phenomena of acceptance in a context.  Pre-requisite:  Phil 80 and one further course in Philosophy numbered above 99.
