Opis

Reasons and Intentions addresses a central issue in contemporary action theory and moral psychology: the relation between the intention to act and the reasons for action. Specially commissioned essays by leading scholars in the field address this question and its implications for our thinking about rationality and moral agency. This book is a valuable "state-of-the-art" resource and will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers working in the field.
