A general theory of the meaning of sentences using 'reasons for action' and related terminology is developed, which indicates how a propositional analysis of such sentences can also illuminate their practical use and psychological influence on our actions. The discussion covers issues of sentence meaning and speech acts, but also includes important questions of philosophical psychology (the nature of regret, guilt and shame), and shows how empirical theories of moral psychology (those of Freud and Piaget, for example) can clarify, and be clarified, philosophical theory. The central feature of this work is its construction of a general theory of rationality and morality, and its attempt to formulate a structure of action guiding principles which make specific the requirements that those concepts impose on our conduct. Substantive questions of leg al, political, and personal morality are discussed and an account given of social rules, rights, duties and obligation. Finally, an answer is sought to the question 'Why be moral?'" crisp/clean copy of an infrequently encountered work.
