Presentation of the conference:

On this occasion, the traditional Philosophical Meetings [Reuniones Filosóficas] organized by the Department of Philosophy will be dedicated to the topic "Practical Rationality: Intentionality, 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.
