Published 15 hours ago
Description

Two puzzles from Jean Buridan: Buridan's ass (the donkey undecided among piles of hay) and the fifteenth sophism, "I owe you a horse," both of which relate to H. A. Prichard's puzzle—we seem never to have a reason or obligation to perform any particular action. @PhiloofAlexandria
