The task requires a clear account of such things as reasons, desires, emotions and motives, and of how they combine to produce and explain human behaviour. In Kinds of Reasons, Maria Alvarez offers a fresh and incisive treatment of these issues, focusing in particular on reasons as they feature in contexts of agency. Her account builds on some important recent work in the area; but she takes her main inspiration from the tradition that receives its seminal contemporary expression in the writings of G.E.M. Anscombe, a tradition that runs counter to the broadly Humean orthodoxy that has dominated the theory of action for the past forty years. Alvarez's conclusions are therefore likely to be controversial; and her bold and painstaking arguments will be found provocative by participants on every side of the debates with which she engages. Clear and directly written, Kinds of Reasons aims to stake out a distinctive position within one of the most hotly contested areas of contemporary philosophy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50308186833169,"sku":"GOR013920722","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52662814703889,"sku":"NLS9780199550005","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/019955000X.jpg?v=1776938051"},{"product_id":"kinds-of-reasons-book-maria-alvarez-9780199680580","title":"Kinds of Reasons","description":"Understanding human beings and their distinctive rational and volitional capacities is one of the central tasks of philosophy.

Celibacy and temptation are not popular topics, that's why she felt lead to write about them. She struggled with these issues on her own, but wanted to share her hard-headedness, confesses her weaknesses and her life's lessons that just may save you from making some of the small and not so small mistakes she made herself. Her casual style of writing makes you feel comfortable and right at home with her. You may be surprised to find yourself relating to many of her same situations. She is frank and direct with some issues that are almost taboo in Christian society, but as she tells you, These are the very issues single Christian women find themselves struggling with today. They are real and powerful. God knows I'm a slow learner and that sometimes I need a brick dropped on my head to learn the lesson. It's really quite simple and very doable. She encourages. Society has tainted so many words of great value like: submit, obey, abstinence, virtue, and purity. These are the very things the Bible speaks so clearly of. Look to God and you will find these words appearing in your daily life, keep your eyes on Him and you will learn to cherish them for all their worth. The enemy has been mastering his perfect plan to destroy the value such words, but even worse, he has been working even harder to destroy you. But through God all things are possible, even celibacy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51140119658769,"sku":"NIN9781434316646","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430941323537,"sku":"NLS9781434316646","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1434316645.jpg?v=1751337614"},{"product_id":"easter-remembered-book-maria-alvarez-9781596890121","title":"Easter Remembered","description":"Exciting book for Easter  This is a Christian inspiration book at its finest. Maria Alvarez reflects on the meaning of Easter via poetry and prose. Miss Alvarez is different from many other Christian writers who write on Easter in that she focuses on the importance of the suffering and death of Christ rather than dwell primarily on the Resurrection. While arguing that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from death is a fact and important for Christians to celebrate, Miss Alvarez emphasizes that celebrating the Resurrection exclusively would miss the important point of Easter. Writing from a historic Christian position, Miss Alvarez affirms the substitutionary sacrifice-work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Furthermore, Miss Alvarez is emphatic in stressing the divinity of Jesus Christ. Being doctrinally sound, Miss Alvarez proves herself to be literary master. Her poems inspire and her prose is deeply moving. This book by Mariz Alvarez is a great celebration of Easter in the tradition of historic Christian faith. This book on Easter would be great for reading during Lent as well as throughout the year. Great for personal devotion as well as for group prayer meetings for church and college Christian groups.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135466139921,"sku":"NLS9781596890121","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781596890121.jpg?v=1757549204"},{"product_id":"challenges-and-new-strategies-on-rabbit-breeding-book-rosa-garcagarca-9783036544977","title":"Challenges and New Strategies on Rabbit Breeding","description":"\u003cp\u003eRabbit livestock is especially important in the Mediterranean area and in the semi-arid zones of Africa, Asia, and America, representing a valuable alternative source of good animal protein of high quality (low fat and low cholesterol). However, rabbit husbandry should adapt to be a competitive and sustainable sector. In addition, it must maintain a balance between rabbit welfare, customer demands, and breeder requirements. Then, improvement in breeding systems is needed and may involve avoiding hormones and antibiotics in rabbit management; enhancing the efficiency of reproductive procedures such as artificial insemination systems and freezing of semen and embryos; extending the productive lifespan of does; improving genetic selection systems; and adjusting nutritional systems to optimize the physiological status of animals and the immune response. This Special Issue concerns all these challenges in increasing rabbit productivity and sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430754283793,"sku":"NLS9783036544977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53367555752209,"sku":"NIN9783036544977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783036544977.jpg?v=1759170583"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-maria-alvarez.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
