520 |a The Act Itself offers a deeper understanding of what is going on in our own moral thoughts about human behaviour. Jonathan Bennett argues that many of the descriptions of behaviour on which our thoughts are based are confused; others may be free of confusion, but still we are not clear in our minds about what thoughts they are. His aim is to show how to use conceptual analysis to get more control of our thoughts and thus of our moral and intellectual lives.
