Two Models of Action and the Indirect Relevance of Intention Sample Clauses

Two Models of Action and the Indirect Relevance of Intention. Finally I want to draw out a way of understanding Xxxxxxxx’s dispute with Xxxxxxxx in terms of wider differences about agency and reasons in action. While we have considered some aspects of Xxxxxxxx’x model in detail, and linked it with a motivation based model of action, an alternative model of human action has its origins in the Scholastic tradition84 and can be characterised as the ‘practical reason-based’ model of action85. Rather than construing human action as an effect of a desire or other motivating pro attitude, human action is the exercise of a distinctively practical capacity for rationality. On the one hand a complete account of an 84 Thomas Pink "Intentions and two models of human action" in Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (ed.), Reasons and Intentions. Xxxxxxx (2007); Xxxxxx, Good and Evil Actions: A Journey through St Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx; Xxxxxx Pink "Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx and the Scholastic Tradition in Action Theory" in Xxxxxx Xxxx, M.W.F. Xxxxx (eds.) The Will and Human Action: From Antiquity to the Present Day. London : Routledge, 2003. 85 Pink, “Intentions and Two Models of Human Action.” action must include the agent’s psychological states, but also, it must include the external ‘desired object’, that is, the object or state of affairs which the agent apprehends as good and subsequently has reason to pursue. An intention, on this view, is a distinctive kind of reason-applying attitude, rather than reducible to beliefs and desires. Intentions are a non voluntary act (of the will), they are an instance of agency, of self-determination because they are an exercise of our capacity practically to respond to reasons – the desirability of what is intended. Actions themselves, then (rather than just their causes) are defined by features in what XxXxxxxx might call “the realm of reasons”. This makes it more likely that pairs of cases with the same effects could be understood as different kinds of actions. The content of intentions – their objects, provide the goal at which an agent is directed when he acts. These brush strokes are far too broad, and in identifying these two schools of thought, there will necessarily be generalisations and blurry edges. There are however a few key differences I would draw out. On one view, practical rationality is (merely) instrumental; all of one’s reasons for acting express, engage, or otherwise involve one’s desires; and desires, being non-voluntary, are not necessarily subjectable to rational criticism. On the other practical reason base...
