Desire as Belief

A Study of Desire, Motivation, and Rationality

Beschreibung

What is a desire? Our wants must often compete with our beliefs about what we ought to do. This book defends "desire as belief", a view in which desires are a special subset of our normative beliefs, and in which we can accept orthodox models of human motivation while also making room for normative beliefs to play a role in our decision-making.
