How do reasons combine? How is it that several reasons taken together can have a combined weight which exceeds the weight of any one alone? I propose an answer in mereological terms: reasons combine by composing a further, complex reason of which they are parts. eir combined weight is the weight of their combination. I develop a mereological framework, and use this to investigate some structur...

I propose what seems a plausible interpretation of the suggestion that the fact that someone has or lacks the capacity to make inferences of certain kinds should be taken as evidence that the contents of the states involved in these inferences are conceptual/nonconceptual. I then argue that there is no obvious way in which this line of thought could be exploited to help draw the line separating...

In any economy, people are constantly moving around to take new jobs. This process is important to the efficiency of a nation. Yet little is known about it. The paper uses some of the first British panel data to examine the microeconomic determinants of residential mobility for job reasons. Two conclusions stand out. First, there is a marked asymmetry between males and females. When women are i...

Objective: The present study examines the relationships among reasons for drinking, alcohol consumption, and alcohol-related consequences in two college-aged samples. Personal motivators such as mood enhancement and coping (tension reduction) have consistently been shown to predict problematic alcohol use, but because of the salient nature of social drinking in college, we hypothesized that soc...

Practical reasons play a central role in our everyday discourse about action and there is no major ethical theory into which the concept of reasons for action does not play a crucial role. However, the nature of reasons for acting is not well understood. Th e aim of the present essay is therefore to clarify the notion of justifi catory reasons for action. To accomplish this, I start, after some...

What is it to be inclined or disposed to do something? What is it to incline, dispose, or incite the will? Do things that incline or incite the will do so by providing reasons for acting? Do they influence the will by serving as efficient causes of acts of will? Both? Neither? In this essay I will conduct a preliminary exploration into various medieval and early modern accounts of being incline...
