Reasons and purposes : human rationality and the teleological explanation of action

Reasons and purposes : human rationality and the teleological explanation of action / G.F. Schueler.

People act for reasons. But what is it to act for a reason? Schueler rejects the accepted view that beliefs & desires cause us to act as we do & argues instead for a view centred on practical deliberation, our ability to evaluate the reasons we accept.
