Acting for Reasons and Acting Intentionally
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 73 (4):355-374 (1992)
Abstract
The thesis may be expressed as: An agent intentionally A's if and only if she A's for a reason. My aim in this paper is to show that the spirit of the thesis, if not its letter, survives a variety of criticisms and to illuminate, in the process, the nature of reasons for action, acting for reasons, and acting intentionally.Author's Profile
