Note: Don’t panic if you don’t understand everything that’s going on! One of the skills it’s good to develop is the skill of getting a big-picture view of what’s going on in a paper without going through all of the nitty-gritty details (leaving those for a 2nd or 3rd reading). This is a good paper to practice that skill on.
]]>We will be discussing Stalnaker’s ‘Epistemic Consequentialism’.
]]>I will update the reading schedule shortly.

]]>For your convenience, we have set up a mailing list for this course. We encourage you to subscribe in order to be notified of announcements on this site. Note, however, that you will only be notified of updates to the site once a day. (If there are no new updates on a given day, you will receive no emails.)
Of course, you do not need to be enrolled in the seminar in order to subscribe to the mailing list. If you think you might want to come to some of the meetings, you may want to subscribe to be notified of any relevant information. Alternatively, you can just check the website before coming to class.
A draft of the syllabus is available as a .pdf here, including details about two exciting visits to the seminar.
