"The Things We Do and Why We Do Them" argues against the common
assumption that there is a kind of thing called 'action' which all
reason-giving explanation of action are geared towards. Sandis
explains why all theories concerned with the form which any such
explanation must take fail from the outset, and shows how various
debates on the nature of so-called motivating reasons only arise
because the participants all share a number of mistaken views which
follow from the basic assumption under attack. In so doing, he
urges philosophers and psychologists alike to stop asking whether
the explanation of action is causal, and to focus instead on its
multifarious objects. This book will appeal to anyone interested in
motivational psychology, the reasons for which we act, and the
philosophy of explanation in general.
