2 ideas

20. Action / B. Preliminaries of Action / 2. Willed Action / a. Will to Act

8230	Just as you have the impulse to do something, stop [Anon (Cent)]
	Full Idea: Just as you have the impulse to do something, stop.
	From: Anon (Cent) (Centring [c.500 BCE], 64)
	A reaction: Nice. You might train your own will like a dog in this way. It is a counterexample to the simplistic idea that all you need is a belief and a desire, and you have got an action. But (pace Searle, Ideas 3817 + 3818) this does not prove free will.

20. Action / C. Motives for Action / 2. Acting on Beliefs / b. Action cognitivism

18420	We deny that action involves some special class of beliefs [Cappelen/Dever]
	Full Idea: Maybe there is a class of beliefs that plays a special role in the explanation of action. We have argued against the existence of such a class (or at least any interesting such class).
	From: Cappelen,H/Dever,Josh (The Inessential Indexical [2013], 06.2)
	A reaction: The main class which has been proposed is the one that involves indexical beliefs. I agree with this idea.
