註釋
"Rudiger Bittner proposes a reason is a state of affairs, and to do something for a reason is to do it in response to that state of affairs. This answer is in opposition to the broad consensus in contemporary philosophy that reasons are mental states of the agent; Bittner, by contrast, tries to retrieve a thoroughly worldly understanding of reasons and acting for reasons." "This work presents, through a detailed examination of widely received literature, a powerful argument for a new thesis on rational agency - a thesis that is sure to spark intense discussion and to open new avenues of investigation among all philosophers."--BOOK JACKET.
