Motivation
- Abstract:
- I develop a scheme for the explanation of rational action. I start from a scheme that may be attributed to Thomas Nagel in The Possibility of Altruism, and develop it step by step to arrive at a sharper and more accurate scheme. The development includes a progressive refinement of the notion of motivation. I end by explaining the role of reasoning within the scheme. © 2009 Stiftelsen Theoria Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
