ABSTRACT
Deliberation is an exercise of reason that bridges the axiological and practical spheres. Similarly, in the case of action, and precisely because the fiat is motivated by a desire engendered by the evaluation, the search for the reasons for the action would move “downward” toward the intentionally motivating layers of sense. The motivating and founding relations obtaining among the various aspects are relations of sense, of meaning or significance, that have experiential import. The experience analyzed is the action as a whole, and through are internal, structured aspects of the voluntary action that realizes P. Chosen actions differ from voluntary actions in that they not only aim at an end but are undertaken in the light of that end. In choosing, the agent has an explicit volition to attain the end.
