| Title | Conditional Analysis and Reason Explanation |
| Summary | In my thesis, I am going to argue against the idea that the conditional analysis and the reason explanation are completely different projects. I will say that the conditional analysis and the reason explanation share many similarities and by bridging the two, the two groups of theorists can enrich their respective accounts. I will first reject the simple version of conditional analysis for its own deficiency. I will also point out that despite the initial impression that they are different, conditional analysis and the reason explanation are actually both about semantics investigation. I will then argue that part of the conditional analysis of freedom can be made to be a reason explanation of action, because it contains enough information explain the action in question. Thus by bringing the two even closer. |
