Presentation

On this occasion, the traditional Philosophical Meetings [Reuniones Filosóficas]
organized by the Department of Philosophy will be dedicated to the topic
"Practical Rationality: Intentionallity, Normativity, Reflexivity". The intent is to
study -in a way that combines both the systematic as well as the historical
perspectives- certain fundamental structures of practical rationality, in particular
as they are currently presented in the philosophical literature within the areas of
the philosophy of action and normative ethics.

Thus, under the heading of "intentionality" there will be grouped the set of problems
that are linked not only with the teleological structure of praxis-oriented rationality,
but also with its temporal structure (qua open to the future). "Normativity," on the
other hand, will group the set of problems raised by the necessity to give an
account of the origin and structure of the normative pretensions linked to practical
reason. Finally, under the heading of "reflexivity" the conference will treat of those
aspects related to the role that (auto-) reflexivity plays in the practical use of reason.
