Desire as Belief

Explore the intricate relationship between desire and belief in "Desire as Belief" by Alex Gregory, published by Oxford University Press in 2021. This thought-provoking hardback spans 240 pages and delves into the complexities of human motivation. Gregory presents a compelling argument for understanding desires as a unique subset of our normative beliefs, offering a fresh perspective on how our wants often compete with our beliefs about what we ought to do. By embracing this "desire as belief" framework, readers can reconcile traditional models of motivation with the significant influence of normative beliefs in decision-making. Perfect for anyone interested in psychology and the philosophical underpinnings of desire, this book invites you to reconsider what drives your choices and motivations.
