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. INDICE: Introduction; 1: Reasons; 2: Reasons, Kinds, Ontology; 3: Motivation and Desires; 4: Desires and Motivating Reasons; 5: Beliefs and Motivating Reasons; 6: The Explanation of Action
