I start by considering John Broome’s recent account of instrumental reasoning in some detail. After raising objections to it, I offer a very different picture of reasoning in general, which makes much more sense of the possibility of reasoning to a sufficient means. I than raise some difficulties for my own account.
A draft of a chapter from Prof Dancy's forthcoming book, which covers the material of the talk, is posted on the departmental colloquium's e-learning site.
