Essays on Actions and Events pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Donald Davidson has prepared a new edition of his classic 1980 collection of Essays on Actions and Events, including two additional essays. In this seminal investigation of the nature of human action, Davidson argues for an ontology which includes events along with persons and other objects. Certain events are identified and explained as actions when they are viewed as caused and rationalized by reasons; these same events, when described in physical, biological, or physiological terms, may be explained by appeal to natural laws. The mental and the physical thus constitute irreducibly discrete ways of explaining and understanding events and their causal relations. Among the topics discussed are: freedom to act; weakness of the will; the logical form of talk about actions, intentions, and causality; the logic of practical reasoning; Hume's theory of the indirect passions; and the nature and limits of decision theory. The introduction, cross-references, and appendices emphasize the relations between the essays and explain how Davidson's views have developed.
有機會再讀讀
評分十二顆星。隻讀一兩篇Davidson相當於一篇都沒讀。隻讀Davidson的action theory也相當於什麼都沒讀。如果再給我一次機會,我會在剛接觸所謂“分析哲學”的時候,把這些經典作傢的書稍微係統讀一讀。以前總覺得,搞“分析”嘛,不需要systematic,結果就是我現在思考什麼問題都極端superficial

評分reason as cause... 他對the mental 與physical的區分僅限於語義上的理解還是不讓人滿意,但如果說這兩者是本體論的,則似乎需要討論作為mental的reason如何可能成為cause... 背後仍然涉及到naturalize reason的爭論,keep thinking...
評分主要讀瞭Agency //He says, let there be light, while moving his hand, flipping the switch, turning on the light and illuminating the room. However, he presses the button thinking it will turn on the light, but in fact it fires a torpedo that sinks the Bismarck.
