Dear all,

The next postgraduate Work in Progress (WiP) seminar is taking place this Friday 21st June from 5-6:15 PM in S2.77 and on Teams. Chris Hall will present 'Intending, doing and the broadness of the progressive'. Everyone welcome!

Abstract:

Following Anscombe, one purported feature of practical knowledge is that it is non-observational. A challenge for accounts committed to this feature is to explain how we can have non-observational knowledge of both what we intend to be doing and what we are doing, with the latter considered a more perplexing claim. One strategy for meeting this challenge involves appealing to the broadness of the progressive to highlight a strong connection between intending and doing, so that in certain circumstances knowledge of what we intend amounts to knowledge of what we are doing. In this talk I explore this strategy. I identify two distinct directions in which the idea of the broadness of the progressive is taken, and I raise some preliminary challenges for views in both directions.
