Practical Shape: A Theory of Practical Reasoning
Oxford: Oxford University Press (2018)
Abstract
Jonathan Dancy aims to establish the possibility of reasoning to action, by showing how similar it is to reasoning to belief. He offers a general theory of reasoning, which smoothly admits the differences there may be between the two types, while also considering the possibility of reasoning to hope, to fear, to doubt, and to intention.Author's Profile
