justify why you did it.
Which picture are you doing?
And so at this point, I think a lot of at least the analytics school was kind of they they thought of causes as that kind of redescription, that kind of rationalization of your behavior, making it coherent.
And they didn't think that reasons had the structure of causes.
And so Donaldson wants to come along and go, actually we can defend the common sense notion.
And he's he's he'll that's what he'll kind of go through and defend in both papers, I think.
Yeah, he definitely agrees with the idea that there's something to be said about the way it's characterized in the current during his time, the reasons, as you said, that they have this kind of justificatory function as well.
But that's just not all they do.
Yeah.
He's gonna wanna say that, you know, one of them is gonna use law-like or nomological sort of con just connections.
And then the other one is gonna be normative and holistic.
And he's gonna talk about how those are just sort of incommensurable in terms of their vocabularies.
We're not gonna be able to transfer between them very easily, but that's more in the paper.
I had I enjoyed the papers a lot and it was tough.
The first time I read through actions, reasons, and causes was tough because I didn't have some of that.
You know, I've got the common.
sense intuition as well.
So it was struggle for me to figure out how we would have come to this place where we don't think reasons are causes, at least in some sense.
But so immersing myself in some of that, especially Anscombe's paper, intentionality and stuff, was cool to to sort of investigate that.
And I felt like I got a better understanding of why Davidson needed to give such pushback.
