Description

This collection brings together a series of connected essays on the nature of human action. Davidson argues for an ontology that includes events along with persons and other objects. Topics discussed include freedom to act; weakness of the will; the logical form of talk about actions, intentions, and causality; the logic of practical reasoning; Hume's theory of the indirect passions; and the nature and limits of decision theory.
