Instrumental Rationality: The Normativity of Means-Ends Coherence
Oxford: Oxford University Press (2020)
Abstract
Rationality requires that we intend the means that we believe are necessary for achieving our ends. Instrumental Rationality explores the formulation and status of this requirement of means-ends coherence. In particular, it is concerned with understanding what means-ends coherence requires of us as believers and agents, and why.Author's Profile
