Description

This title introduces and explores historical and contemporary accounts of reasons in ethical action. When we say we act 'for a reason', what do we mean? And what do reasons have to do with being good or bad? Introducing readers to a foundational topic in ethics, this book introduces and explores the answers that have been given to some of these fundamental philosophical questions. Eric Wiland here considers the ethical reasoning that lies behind our actions. The book lays out and critically reviews some of the most popular answers given in the history of philosophy, from perspectives ranging from psychologism through value theory to primitivism. From here, Wiland goes on to consider contemporary constitutivist theories of reasons and explores how this approach can shed new light on the nature of irrational action and vice. Reasons also includes chapter summaries and guides to further reading to help readers master this important question in contemporary writing in ethics and the philosophy of action. "Continuum Ethics" is a series of books written to help students explore, engage with and master key topics in contemporary ethics and moral philosophy. Review ‘Reasons is a gently opinionated tour of divergent philosophical theories of reasons and the problems they raise.Even those well-familiar with the literature will benefit from Wiland's perspective on the terrain.And if they're like me they'll discover some unexplored yet fertile territory.' -- Mark van Roojen, Professor of Philosophy at University of Nebraska―Lincoln, USA‘Reasons offers a systematic and enlightening introduction to a subject that is often tangled and dark. Ambitious in its scope, it provides a subtle and comprehensive survey of the main positions and debates on the nature of reasons and practical rationality. Its concluding discussion of Anscombe is especially impressive and is sure to encourage the recently renewed interest in her views. Written in an elegant and witty style with a rich choice of intuitive examples this book is perfect for graduate students and advanced undergraduates alike.' -- David Hunter, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Ryerson University, Canada About the Author Eric Wiland is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Missouri - St Louis, USA.
