Abstract

This inquiry is devoted to the study of practical reasoning, in particular, in its declination of moral reasoning. This implies considering humans as capable of choice and free will: moral action is not the result of deterministic laws that regulate nature, but the result of reasoning, deliberation, and intention to act in accordance with what previously decided. What reasons do I have for preferring one moral action to another? What does it mean to act morally? The spectrum of questions of this nature can be greatly extended, so it is necessary to circumscribe the field of investigation to which this research is directed.
