Reasons and Causes: Causalism and Anti-Causalism in the Philosophy of Action

Reasons and Causes: Causalism and Anti-Causalism in the Philosophy of Action

Giuseppina D'Oro
2/5 ( ratings)
To mark the 50th anniversary of Donald Davidson's 'Actions, reasons and causes', eight philosophers with distinctive and contrasting views revisit and update the reasons/causes debate.Their essays are preceded by a historical introduction which traces current debates to their roots in the philosophy of history and social science, linking the rise of causalism to a metaphysical backlash against the linguistic turn. Both historically grounded and topical, this volume will be of great interest to both students and scholars in the philosophy of action and related areas of study.
