Doing Things for Reasons [Hardcover]

What exactly are the reasons we do things, and how are they related to the resulting actions? Bittner explores this question and proposes an answer: a reason is a response to that state of affairs. Elegantly written, this work is a substantial contribution to the fields of rationality, ethics, and action theory.

...an important contribution to the theory of practical reason. --The Review of Metaphysics
