Alan Millar

Understanding People

Normativity and Rationalizing Explanation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Alan Millar examines our understanding of why people think and act as they do. Controversially he argues that all propositional attitudes of the sort we ascribe to people have a normative dimension, that normative considerations are indispensable to our understanding of each other, and that normativity is linked to reasons.
