Rationality Through Reasoning answers the question of how
people are motivated to do what they believe they ought to do,
built on a comprehensive account of normativity, rationality and
reasoning that differs significantly from much existing
philosophical thinking.
Develops an original account of normativity, rationality and
reasoning significantly different from the majority of existing
philosophical thought
Includes an account of theoretical and practical reasoning that
explains how reasoning is something we ourselves do, rather than
something that happens in us
Gives an account of what reasons are and argues that the
connection between rationality and reasons is much less close than
many philosophers have thought
Contains rigorous new accounts of oughts including owned
oughts, agent-relative reasons, the logic of requirements,
instrumental rationality, the role of normativity in reasoning,
following a rule, the correctness of reasoning, the connections
between intentions and beliefs, and much else.
Offers a new answer to the ?motivation question? of
how a normative belief motivates an action.
