Explaining Human Action

More about the book

Kathleen Lennon presents a fresh perspective on the philosophy of action, integrating "reasons" within the causal framework while asserting their independence. She challenges the prevailing belief that explanations based on intentional states cannot be considered causal, offering a robust defense of the role of reasons in understanding human behavior and decision-making. This work invites readers to reconsider established views and explore the intricate relationship between intention and causation.
