Preview: Smith's Solution to the Moral Problem

Preview: Smith’s Anti-Humean Theory of Reasons

The reading for today is Korsgaard’s article ‘Skepticism About Practical Reason’, which I lectured about on Monday. Today we’re going to pause and review Korsgaard’s response to Williams, and then spend the rest of the class previewing how we expect Smith to exploit his loophole in the Moral Problem in order to solve it.
