Our graduate conference concerns two rich topics in the philosophy of mind and moral philosophy: the self and agency.
The topic includes self-awareness, embodiment, first-person authority, various aspects of agency, such as the connection between agency and reasons (and practical rationality), as well as ontological problems about the self/agency and historical takes on any of these subjects. The aim of the conference is to connect contemporary and historical views about self-knowledge and self-awareness to accounts of agency (broadly construed) and to issues in moral philosophy
