Normative Practical Reasoning
1. Instrumental reasoning. Aristotle identified practical reasoning as reasoning that concludes in an act, and he was thinking of a non-mental act such as tasting food.

Practical reasoning is reasoning about what to do in a given situation, particularly in the presence of conflicts ...
