Over the course of the last 15 years, Constantine Sandis has advanced
our understanding of the role that action plays in shaping our moral
thought. In this collection of his best essays in the philosophy of
action, Sandis brings together updated versions of his writings,
accompanied by a new introduction. Read collectively they demonstrate
the breadth of his interests and ability to relate to broader issues
within the culture, connecting debates in philosophical psychology
about motivation, negligence, and moral responsibility with Greek
tragedy, social psychology and literature.
Along this path from action to ethics, Sandis engages with Hegel,
Wittgenstein, Anscombe, Ricoeur, Davidson, and Dretske, together with
contemporary authors such as Jennifer Hornsby and Jonathan Dancy. As
he responds to each thinker and theme, he develops his own
philosophical position, the key thesis of which is that philosophy of
action without ethics is empty, ethics without philosophy of action is
blind.
