DESCRIPTION:Trying\n\nBy comparison to the vast literature devoted to inten
 tion and intentional action\, the notion of trying has inspired relatively
  little discussion. But (we argue) trying is distinct from these notions\,
  and indeed cannot be defined in any obvious way from combinations of desi
 re\, belief\, intention\, or intentional action. Moreover\, trying can mak
 e a normative difference to the ethical assessment of actions which outrun
 s the contributions of these other notions. And finally\, trying can be us
 ed to articulate an important notion of something's being under a person's
  control\; it itself has a claim to being under one's control in this impo
 rtant sense\; and it may allow us to recover a seed of truth in the hallow
 ed but controversial idea that one can know what one is doing immediately 
 and without observation.\n\n \n\nThe talk will be based on joint work with
  Ben Holguín (Princeton/JHU).
