Details

Reasons Last argues that there is a deep unity between motivating and normative reasons for acting, and it asks what happens to our theories of reasons if we take that unity seriously. Against the recently fashionable Reasons First thesis, Samuel Asarnow argues that the idea of a reason for action actually comes last--or, at any rate, pretty far along--in the order of analysis, and develops a version of the Reasoning View about both normative and motivating reasons.
