Description:
"Using as a point of departure the distinction between the philosophers' notion of desire, in which desires (or pro-attitudes) are essentially connected to action, and the ordinary notion, in which a person can do something without so desiring, Professor Schueler discusses critical issues dealing with human action, among them reasons for acting, the practical syllogism, justification and explanation of action and the folk psychological desire/belief model. Schueler's approach is well-informed and innovative; it advances the debate several critical steps."
