Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Do I have a duty to believe rationally? Can I be blamed for being an irresponsible believer or praised for being a virtuous one? Where could such duties, responsibilities and virtues come from? The meaningfulness of our intellectual lives depends on these questions. We look at the fights analytic philosophers are having over them.
