Hey all,
The first Philosophy Club meeting of the quarter will take place this upcoming Monday (January 9) from 7-8:30 PM in the conference room in the Reynolds Club basement – please note the change in day and location from last quarter. Since we’re meeting in a new location, Philosophy Club board members will be standing at the entrance to the basement (just to the right of the C-Shop) just before 7 to lead those attending the meeting to the new room. We’ll be discussing Robert Adams’ paper “Involuntary Sins,” which can be found at http://www.jstor.org/stable/2184713?origin=JSTOR-pdf – e-mail ugphilclubboard@lists.uchicago.edu if you have trouble finding a copy. Adams presents an interesting challenge to the widespread intuition that we can only be morally responsible for those features of our actions that are under our direct voluntary control by drawing on the (in his view) equally compelling intuition that we can be morally responsible for our motives. Hope to see you there!
