| Course description |
This course explores topics in the theory of value, varying from year to year depending on the research interests of the instructors. Recent topics are indicative of the themes that may be covered:
- the value of freedom and equality
- the nature of distinctively epistemic value
- the connection betwee value, reason, and ought
This course is not specifically a continuation of Value Theory 1, although some of the themes may be connected in interesting ways.
