具體描述
A highly original treatment of the central questions in philosophy of action and epistemology
Will become a landmark publication in the field
At the cutting edge of contemporary philosophy, while deeply informed by historical scholarship
Human agency has four irreducibly different dimensions — psychological, ethical, intellectual, and physical — which the traditional idea of a will tended to conflate. Twentieth-century philosophers criticized the idea that acts are caused by 'willing' or 'volition', but the study of human action continued to be governed by a tendency to equate these dimensions of agency, or to reduce one to another. Cutting across the branches of philosophy, from logic and epistemology to ethics and jurisprudence, Action, Knowledge, and Will defends comprehensive theories of action and knowledge, and shows how thinking about agency in four dimensions deepens our understanding of human conduct and its causes.
Readership: Scholars and students in philosophy of action and epistemology; others interested in understanding the main concepts we use to think and reason about human conduct and its causes.

翻過：sychological, ethical, intellectual, and physical human agency;intention. The Modern Theory of the Will
评分廣度驚人
评分廣度驚人
评分視野開闊，分析細膩，有日常語言學派的遺風
评分氣象恢宏。從對經驗主義傳統影響下的volition theory的批判開始，逐漸深入到對causation、explanation等基本概念的分析。積蓄已久之後，通過從本體論上重新界定knowledge一下將人類生活的各個層麵都錨定在truth之上。對各個傳統的分析與把握令人拍案。至於新理論框架的闡發，大概Hyman已經能夠把自己和Anscombe、Davidson的名字並列在一塊兒瞭。
