Everyone allows that we can reason to a new belief from beliefs
that we already have. Aristotle thought that we could also reason
from beliefs to action. Practical Shape: A Theory of Practical
Reasoning establishes this possibility of reasoning to action, in a
way that allows also for reasoning to intention, hope, fear, and
doubt. While many philosophers have found little sense in
Aristotle's claim, Dancy offers a general theory of reasoning that
is sensitive to current debates but still Aristotelian in spirit.
The text clearly sets out the similarities between reasoning to
action and reasoning to belief, which are far more striking than
any dissimilarities. Its detailed account of practical reasoning, a
topic inadequately covered in current literature, is presented in
such a way as to be intelligible to a variety of readers, making it
an ideal resource for students of philosophy but also of interest
to academics in related disciplines.
