Thanks to everyone who supported us and enjoyed our music!
Action theory is a branch of philosophy concerned with the analysis of what human beings do intentionally. This typically includes an effort to distinguish actions from mere events and some proposal concerning the ethical significance of actions. Understanding the relation between choice or volition and the performance of an action, for example, has been taken to be crucial for the ascription of moral responsibility to those who act. A basic action theory typically describes behaviour as the result of an interaction between an individual agent and a situation. Individual desires come together with beliefs about how desires can be fulfilled under given circumstances. The process of choice leads to the enaction of a behaviour strategy which promises optimum outcomes in the light of all personal desires.
