| | Action (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A primary concern of philosophy of action is to demarcate actions from other similar phenomena. | | | Action has been of concern to philosophers since Aristotle, who wrote about the subject in his Nicomachean Ethics. | | | An action, as philosophers use the term, is a certain kind of thing a person can do. |

| | Action research philosophy |
| | In action research, the task is this: to behave in such a way that I maximise the chance of finding out when my model of the world doesn't work. | | | I believe that this is an adequate philosophy to use as a basis for a rigorous action research. | | | Yet philosophy of science does not seem to be something which occupies all that much of their attention. |

| | Philosophy of action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The problems of analytical philosophy of action include: | | | Must there be a causal link between the explanation and the action (as suggested by Donald Davidson)? | | | The field is often defined by the quote of Ludwig Wittgenstein: "What is left over if I subtract the fact that my arm goes up from the fact that I raise my arm?" |

| | Philosophy 542: Philosophy of Action |
| | The topic of moral responsibility is sometimes included in the philosophy of action, by those who believe that the term 'responsible' designates a kind of behavior (or behavior-under-a-description). | | | On this view, responsibility is an irreducibly normative matter and is therefore a subject for ethics rather than the philosophy of action. | | | For example, our norms of holding-responsible are sensitive to considerations of due care and negligence, which depend in turn on the values and obligations at stake in an action—matters which may not be reflected in the agent's physiology or psychology. |

| | Action research philosophy |
| | Action research then continues with rational processes by assessing the test of the grounded theory. | | | Action research is another combination of empirical and rational procedures. | | | Secondly, some practitioners, with a poor understanding of action research, call what they do "action research" when it is simply unevaluated action. |

| | Action |
| | Given the goal-directed nature of action, one can provide a familiar kind of teleological explanation of the relevant behavior by mentioning a goal or purpose of the behavior for the agent at the time, and this is the information (9) conveys. | | | The theory of action should be able to explain the differences between Smith's reasons and the import they have for her in the two contrasting cases. | | | Donald Davidson [1980, essay 3] asserted that an action, in some basic sense, is something an agent does that was ‘intentional under some description,’ and many other philosophers have agreed with him that there is a conceptual tie between genuine action, on the one hand, and intention, on the other. |

| | Action Theory Page |
| | The concerns of action theorists overlap with those doing work in other areas of the philosophy of mind and metaphysics, as well as moral philosophy, the philosophy of religion, logic, epistemology, legal philosophy, and, with the recent growing interest in social action theory, social and political philosophy. | | | This webpage is devoted to contemporary action theory, including the free will debate, practical reasoning, moral responsibility, the nature of intention and intentionality (and folk psychology more broadly), mental causation, moral psychology, and the assorted standard topics of interest philosophers of action work on (e.g., intentional action, reasons for action, etc.). | | | Nonetheless, it seems that work in the other areas in the philosophy of mind have implications for the philosophy of action and vice versa (particularly work on perception, self-knowledge, mental causation, and consciousness). |

| | Anarchism - A Philosophy Of Action |
| | I believe, then, I am right in saying anarchism is a philosophy of action, because it is pre-eminently the philosophy of individual spontaneity. | | | We are then bound in justice to give to Anarcho-Syndicalism and the CNT-FAI the credit which is their due for the magnificent creative work which results from their philosophy, individual and social. | | | Our comrade, Emma Goldman, is an anarchist and I should like to give a word of explanation why I stand beside her on this platform. |

| | OUP: J. David Velleman on Philosophy of Action |
| | David Velleman explores how the human condition is itchier than that of a dog, and reflects on how philosophy of action begins at home. | | | In a sense, then, the human condition is itchier than that of a dog, since every stimulus to action brings with it a stimulus to practical thought. | | | So the night isn’t a total loss, after all: it’s an opportunity for field work in the philosophy of action. |

| | Affirmative Action |
| | Since many practices in most institutions were likely to be exclusionary, rejecting minorities and women in greater proportion than white men, all institutions needed to reassess the full range of their practices to look for, and correct, discriminatory effect. | | | Lastly, Lesley Jacobs, in Pursuing Equal Opportunities (2004), sees affirmative action as a means of overcoming the structural exclusion of blacks from major institutions: affirmative action assists structural integration, and structural integration serves the ideal of equal opportunity. | | | For several decades Anglo-American philosophy had treated moral and political questions obliquely. |
