Title: A note on Rueben's theory of trying
Guest Speaker: Gillman Payette
David Ruben has proposed a theory of trying that accounts for the truth of sentences like 'David is trying to move his arm.' In terms of elaborate counterfactual conditionals, I will present a counterexample to Ruben's theory and then offer a simple fix to the problem.
Everyone is welcome.
