Doing Things for Reasons

by Rüdiger Bittner

What exactly are the reasons we do things, and how are they related to the resulting actions? Bittner explores this question and proposes an 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.
