Philosophy of Action provides an accessible and contemporary introduction to the analytic philosophy of action. Opening with a systematic overview of the main philosophical theories on the nature of human agency, subsequent chapters introduce and discuss the main themes in the traditional and contemporary philosophy of action. Are the reasons for which we act the causes of our movements? What is the nature of intention and intentional action? How does the philosophy of action inform theorizing about autonomy, free will, and moral responsibility? This up-to-date introduction concludes with an overview of recent empirical research on conscious control and intentional action, discussing the philosophical significance of findings from psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Featuring chapter overviews and summaries, open questions for further study and a list of further readings, Philosophy of Action is a valuable resource for undergraduates as well as postgraduates and researchers.

The book includes six chapters that cover Virginia history from initial settlement through the 20th century plus one that deals with the important role of underwater archaeology. Written by prominent archaeologists with research experience in their respective topic areas, the chapters consider important issues of Virginia history and consider how the discipline of historic archaeology has addressed them and needs to address them . Changes in research strategy over time are discussed , and recommendations are made concerning the need to recognize the diverse and often differing roles and impacts that characterized the different regions of Virginia over the course of its historic past. Significant issues in Virginia history needing greater study are identified.

The burgeoning science of ethics has produced a trend toward pessimism. Ordinary moral thought and action, we're told, are profoundly influenced by arbitrary factors and ultimately driven by unreasoned feelings. This book counters the current orthodoxy on its own terms by carefully engaging with the empirical literature. The resulting view, optimistic rationalism, shows the pervasive role played by reason our moral minds, and ultimately defuses sweeping debunking arguments in ethics. The science does suggest that moral knowledge and virtue don't come easily. However, despite the heavy influence of automatic and unconscious processes that have been shaped by evolutionary pressures, we needn't reject ordinary moral psychology as fundamentally flawed or in need of serious repair. Reason can be corrupted in ethics just as in other domains, but a special pessimism about morality in particular is unwarranted. Moral judgment and motivation are fundamentally rational enterprises not beholden to the passions.
