Including two new essays, this remarkable volume is an updated edition of Davidson’s classic Essays on Actions and Events (1980). A superb work on the nature of human action, it features influential discussions of numerous topics. These include the 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.
