We will look at questions such as:
- What different types of reasons are there and what role do they play in various theories?
- What exactly are normative reasons?
- Are normative reasons necessarily connected to motivation (internal vs. external reasons)? Are normative reasons subjective or objective?
- How are normative reasons connected to concepts such as rationality or value?
- How do reasons connect with epistemology? Are there purely epistemic reasons?
- How do reasons relate to (human) action? What is the nature of motivating reasons and explanatory reasons? Are such reasons psychological states?
