2020 was a weird year, but I am back now. At the end of last year I gave an online talk at our Department’s Theoretical Seminar. It’s here.

Deviant Hinge Epistemology and Epistemic Angst
La sfârșitul săptămânii trecute am participat la Topics in Analytic Philosophy 3 cu o conferință cu acest titlu. Slide-urile se găsesc aici.
Un draft al textului pe baza căruia mi-am susținut prezentarea se găsește aici:
Deviant Hinge Epistemology and Epistemic Angst – second draft
Sfârșit de semestru
Am ținut în acest semestru un curs opțional, dedicat cărții doamnei Anscombe, Intention. Pagina cursului conține, pentru fiecare întâlnire, traducerea paragrafelor discutate (am reușit să parcurg toată cartea) și înregistrările audio ale discuțiilor.
Other notes on actions, knowledge and language
Also from last year (see previous post).

Psychology and responsibility
Some notes written about one year ago. I did revise them, but nothing is publishable.
Aristotle and the Dependence of Rational Action on Knowledge
This was the title my presentation at 2400 Aristotle.
Here are the slides.
Here is the (unedited) audio.
Leibniz si problema determinismului moral
E vorba despe o prezentare pe care am tinut-o în cadrul simpozionului Rațiune, Adevăr, Fericire, dedicat tricentenarului Leibniz (1646-1716), organizat de Societatea Leibniz din Romania, Societatea Română de Filosofie și Facultatea de filosofie a Universității din București.
Slide-urile sunt aici.
Înregistrarea audio a prezentării (pe care nu am apucat să o editez) se găsește aici.
Empirical actions (and some other things)
This is mainly an (yet unsuccessful) attempt to develop what I understood as a Wittgensteinean suggestion here for how we could justify claims of the form ‘I know that p’, where p describes what is happening in the speaker’s environment, by performing certain empirical actions. Since these are my personal notes, some other thoughts are intermixed. If you have any feedback, please leave a comment bellow.
Reason, Actions, Nature
These are some notes which I wrote down in the last few months. I was thinking of writing a book, so I wrote in order to make the topic of my book a bit more clear. This is the only use of this text – to make it clear for myself what I am supposed to write about in my book. The only result of writing everything found here, which I would acknowledge, is that the title of my book should be ‘Reason, Language and Actions’. Nothing else should be taken seriously, nothing is worth mentioning etc. I did not proofread the text for grammar mistakes. If you want to take a look at it, you’re on your own.
