  1. Anscombe's and von Wright's non‐causalist response to Davidson's challenge.Christian Kietzmann - 2023 - Philosophical Investigations 46 (2):240-263.
    Donald Davidson established causalism, i.e. the view that reasons are causes and that action explanation is causal explanation, as the dominant view within contemporary action theory. According to his “master argument”, we must distinguish between reasons the agent merely has and reasons she has and which actually explain what she did, and the only, or at any rate the best, way to make the distinction is by saying that the reasons for which an agent acts are causes of her action.

    Inference and the taking condition.Christian Kietzmann - 2018 - Ratio 31 (3):294-302.
    It has recently been argued that inference essentially involves the thinker taking his premises to support his conclusion and drawing his conclusion because of this fact. However, this Taking Condition has also been criticized: If taking is interpreted as believing, it seems to lead to a vicious regress and to overintellectualize the act of inferring. In this paper, I examine and reject various attempts to salvage the Taking Condition, either by interpreting inferring as a kind of rule-following, or by finding (...)

    Handeln aus Gründen als praktisches Schliessen.Christian Kietzmann - 2019 - München: Verlag Karl Alber.
    In Auseinandersetzung mit Positionen der gegenwartigen Handlungstheorie argumentiert das Buch fur die These, dass absichtliche Handlungen als Konklusionen praktischer Schlusse verstanden werden sollten. Motivierende Grunde lassen sich dann als Pramissen solcher Schlusse beschreiben; normative Urteile konnen als Ausdruck einer praktischen Schlussregel aufgefasst werden; und praktisches Wissen von dem, was man gerade tut, wird als Gestalt des Bewusstseins verstandlich, das konstitutiv zu solchem Schliessen gehort.

    Why reasons and reasoning don’t come apart.Christian Kietzmann - 2023 - Synthese 202 (5):1-15.
    In recent years several philosophers have proposed what has come to be called the Reasoning View of normative reasons, according to which normative reasons are premises of sound reasoning. The reasoning view has come under some criticism, which chiefly consists in counterexamples that purport to show that something can be a premise of sound reasoning without intuitively being a normative reason, or can be a normative reason without being a premise of sound reasoning. I here consider and reject three examples (...)

    What Does Aristotle’s Craftsperson Understand?Christian Kietzmann - forthcoming - Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie.
    I argue for the claim that for Aristotle, the content of productive understanding primarily concerns the nature of the object a craftsperson aims to bring into existence as well as its material requirements, and only derivatively things she might do with a view to producing that object. I explain why technê is a form of understanding, by considering what it shares with and how it differs from its practical and theoretical cousins. I give four arguments for my claim. The analogy (...)

    Inference Is Not a Process.Christian Kietzmann - 2022 - Australasian Journal of Philosophy 100 (3):539-549.
    Inference, understood as a form of conscious and active belief-revision, has recently attracted much interest among philosophers of mind. Many writings on the topic depict inference as a kind of process. However, this assumption is, to my knowledge, nowhere explicitly justified or even reflected upon. In this paper, I argue that the assumption is wrong: while processes take time, it is not possible that inferences take time. Both claims are conceptual observations. It is therefore conceptually impossible that the mental act (...)

    Bratman on shared intention.Christian Kietzmann - 2018 - SATS 19 (2):161-181.
    In work that spans almost four decades, Michael Bratman has developed a rich account of human agency. At the centre of this account lies an understanding of intentions as individual planning states. A significant strand in this enterprise has been his work on shared agency, culminating in his 2014 monograph, which aims to extend his account of individual agency to cover cases of what he calls “modest sociality”, i.e. simple cases of acting together. Central to this endeavour is Bratman’s analysis (...)

    Eine transformative Konzeption der anthropologischen Differenz.Christian Kietzmann - 2017 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 124 (1):43-59.
    This paper offers a reevaluation of the debate between assimilationism and differentialism concerning the anthropological difference. Both sides usually assume that the difference consists in a capacity which humans possess and other animals lack, and that is added to a set of capacities humans share with other animals. A likely candidate for this role is reason. An additive conception of human reason on these lines runs into several difficulties, which can be avoided by thinking of reason transformatively, as providing human (...)

    Praktisches Wissen von misslingenden Handlungen.Christian Kietzmann - 2020 - Allgemeine Zeitschrift für Philosophie 45 (3).
    G. E. M. Anscombe introduced the concept of »practical knowledge« into contemporary action theory. According to Anscombe, in cases where someone’s action fails to be performed successfully, the error lies in what he or she is doing and not in what he or she is thinking, wherefore his thought is not mistaken, and thus still knowledge. But Anscombe also seems to believe that knowledge is factive, i.e. to know that p implies that p. Both claims are, however, in tension with (...)

    Teleological Structures in Human Life: Essays for Anselm W. Müller.Christian Kietzmann (ed.) - 2022 - Routledge.
    This is the first collection of essays devoted to the thought of Anselm W. Müller. It brings to the attention of the English-speaking world an influential and highly regarded philosopher who has made important contributions to a wide range of philosophical debates. The volume begins with a biographical sketch of Müller. Arguably, Müller's most important contributions are to the philosophy of action and virtue ethics. The contributors, which include friends, colleagues, and former students, engage with different aspects of Müller's thought (...)
