Glüer II 84
Action Theory/Practical Syllogism/Davidson/Glüer: Aristotle: conclusion is itself the direct action - E.g. if I eat the chocolate because I have reasons, then the reason is the cause - cause = reason (in the practical syllogism).
WittgensteinVsDavidson: (Blue Book, p 35): statements about causes are empirical (nomological) - but that does not apply to specifying your own reasons for action.
Cause/Wittgenstein: is anybody's guess.
Reasons/motive/Wittgenstein: to know - (from language skills) - on the other hand:
"can"/Wittgenstein: refers to logical possibility.
II 85
Conclusion: reason and action are not separate.
>Reasons/Davidson, >Causes/Davidson, >Actions/Davidson.
