Kinds of Reasons: An Essay in the Philosophy of Action
Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press (2010)
Abstract
Understanding human beings and their distinctive rational and volitional capacities requires a clear account of such things as reasons, desires, emotions, and motives, and how they combine to produce and explain human behaviour. Maria Alvarez presents a fresh and incisive study of these concepts, centred on reasons and their role in human agency.Reprint years
