Description
Explaining Behavior: Reasons in a World of Causes by Fred Dretske
This book offers an original account of how reasons function in the causal explanation of behavior. By reconciling the perspectives of biology and psychology, Dretske reveals how our inner states - what we believe, desire, and intend - determine our actions.
Through a detailed examination of human behavior, Dretske sheds light on the character of our inner states and their role in shaping our movements.
