Cognitivism about Instrumental Reason
Ethics 117 (4):649-673 (2007)
Abstract
Argues for a "cognitivist" account of the instrumental principle, on which it is the application of theoretical reason to the beliefs that figure in our intentions. This doctrine is put to work in solving a puzzle about instrumental reason that plagues alternative views.Author's Profile
