Autor: Sandis, Constantine
Jahr: 2012
Analytical Table of Contents
1 Objects and Objectives of Action Explanation 1
Being the book s opening chapter, in which we are introduced to a multitude of
different explanatory aims and various related conceptions of behaviour. It is
suggested that there is no such thing as a distinct enquiry of explaining
action.
1.1 Action in the behavioural sciences 2
1.2 Different conceptions of behaviour 6
1.3 What, why, when, how, where, and who 11
1.4 Of frogs and chickens 13
1.5 Various explananda, various explanantia 22
2 Conflation in Action 24
In which our brave protagonist accuses philosophers and behavioural scien-
tists alike of conflating various things that should be kept distinct. Said con-
flations are shown to provoke confused thoughts regarding the relations
between reasons and actions.
2.1 Introducing various conflations 24
2.2 Doing what happens 30
2.3 Primary reasons for conflation 35
2.4 The view from Nagel 38
2.5 Applied pluralism 39
3 What Makes an Action Explanation Proper? 41
In which the theoretical lessons of the first chapter are applied with the aim
of dissolving two longstanding debates. The view that the explanation of
action either must be or cannot be deductive-nomological is subsequently
rejected.
3.1 Explanatory shifts 42
3.2 The conflating view of action explanation 46
3.3 Explanation and intelligibility 48
3.4 The influence constraint 50
3.5 From explanation to motivation 58
4 The Operation of Reasons 61
In which an account of the dual operations of the reasons we act upon is advanced.
Philosophical disputes over the nature of so-called motivating reasons, it is
claimed, are forged out of a conflating view shared by all participants.
4.1 The theory of motivation 61
4.2 Agential reasons 67
4.3 Grounds and springs 71
4.4 Communication breakdown 77
4.5 Controversy dissolved 79
5 Nested Explanations 82
In which the author examines the relation between everyday reasons for act-
ing and the various factors and forces which underlie them. A revised under-
standing of the true discoveries of experimental psychology is proposed.
5.1 Explanatory paths 82
5.2 Nests for all reasons 85
5.3 Reasons in the abyss 87
5.4 Purported confabulations 91
5.5 Implicit bias and aliefs 98
6 The Structure of Agential Explanation 104
In which the author engages with the work of his teacher in a tribute intended
to show that all reason-giving explanations are factive. A controversial conse-
quence of this conclusion is that the reasons for which we do things do not
themselves explain why we do them.
6.1 Factive reality 104
6.2 As Dancy believes 107
6.3 Enabling to imply 110
6.4 Ontological concerns 115
6.5 Disjunctivist moves 119
7 Spheres of Explanation 121
Being the book s final chapter, in which Dretske s distinction between trigger-
ing and structuring causes is critically explored. The limits of compossibilities
between different spheres of explanation are glimpsed at and a sketch for fur-
ther research is drawn.
7.1 Triggers and structures 121
7.2 Structuring reasons 128
7.3 Enchanting causes 132
7.4 Discontent with content 138
7.5 Explanatory compossibilities 140
Appendix I - The Ontology of Action 142
In which the metametaphysics of action is discussed with a particular focus
on the work ofHornsby, Davidson, and Dancy.
1 That Thing You Do 142
2 Grammatical movements 147
3 The logical form of reason sentences 151
Appendix II - Thought and Motive in Historiography 155
In which a re-enactment of the thought of Hume and Collingwood illustrates
mutually compatible ways in which historical explanation may succeed.
1 Hume s just medium 155
2 Collingwood s thought 160
3 True histories 167
