Thesis title: 'The ends we ought to have'
Supervisors: Steve Finlay and Sam Carter
Research Summary: A common objection to naturalists is that they are unable to settle questions of which ends one ought to have. In my thesis I argue that naturalists can settle the question of which ends one ought to have in order to be able to rationally solve political disagreements, and that this is the only question of which ends one ought to have that naturalists should settle.
