Presentation This Symposium on Belief, Responsibility, and Action emerges from a research project with the same title, currently run by philosophers who belong to the University of Valencia but also some who work at universities in the UK. In the meeting, the three general topics of belief, responsibility, and action will be addressed, mostly by means of exploring its connections. Particular issues that will be covered by the talks are: action and moral responsibility, the nature of reasons and their relation to actions, responsibility for beliefs and attitudes, control over beliefs, beliefs and the will, deliberation and belief in freedom, knowledge of one’s own mental states and actions (self-knowledge), as well as related subjects.

Valencia, situated halfway down the Eastern coast of Spain, is the third most important city in Spain. Its population is 800,000 inhabitants, or 1,500,000 counting on the suburbs.
The average annual temperature is 16.7º C, which includes mild winters and warm summers to be enjoyed on the region's sunny white-sanded beaches, which stretch out from the City of Valencia itself along the Valencian coastline. Valencia boasts one of the largest remaining historical centres in Europe, and the city's noble past can be felt here, in what was one of the main economic and cultural centres of the Mediterranean in the 14th and 15th centuries. The city of Valencia is easily accessible from abroad, through its airport, motorway links, port and railway network.
