September 5: Speech acts and judgment

Tuesday at 4pm in Hagerty 159 we continue discussion of Rödl’s first lecture, where he argues that the problem of spontaneity, self-determination, or the freedom of self-consciousness as reason as it arises in German idealism is in fact a universal problem.

For optional readings go here.

Engstrom article recommended as supplement.
