Num Pages: 215 pages, biography. BIC Classification: CFA; HPC; HPCF3; HPL; HPM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .

This book argues that this type of answer is methodologically and substantially mistaken. It offers an externalist, anti-foundationalist account of what makes an event count as an action.
