Abstract: Most philosophers hold that practical reasoning is directed to the future--I may have any of a number of thoughts about what I have done in the past, or about what has happened, and what it means for me, but when I set out to determine what to do next, I look ahead. In this talk, I will argue that the kind of forward-looking thought at the core of practical reasoning is distinctive. Such thought is framed by concerns that are not strictly predictive, even if some aspects of my calculation rely upon working out the expected outcomes of doing this or that sort of thing. Getting straight about the variety of orientation to the future that is crucial to practical reason is, I will urge, crucial to situating work on practical reason in ethics in general. |
