Why Do Desires Rationalize Actions?

Abstract

In Section 1 I present the above argument for the guise of the good in slightly more detail.In Section 2 I address the view that desires are appearances of the good.Then, in Section 3, I discuss the view that desires are beliefs about the good.These two sections make a case for the latter view over the former.Finally, in Section 4 I address some countervailing claims made by Avery Archer.
