His book is at once reminiscent and prescient, and the reflective reader, unexhausted by its 185 pages, is well placed to owe it yet more than what he has read out of it. . . . this is a book with a future.' * Anthony Price, Mind * 'an important contribution . . . the first sustained defence of a highly natural and attractive view, on which reasoning is essentially a matter of responding to reasons. . . . Above all, it is consistently stimulating: full of observations, suggestions, and arguments which are well worth pausing over.' * Jonathan Way, Ethics * Review from previous edition 'Dancy's book offers an attractive outline of his conception of practical reasoning . . . engagingly personal in style, and full of thoughtful and interesting material' * John Hyman, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * Author InformationJonathan Dancy has worked at the University of Texas at Austin since 2005.
