ORTIZ MILLAN, Gustavo. Deliberation, action and normativity. Comments on Martin Seel's "The Ability to Deliberate". Tópicos (México) [online]. 2009, n.36, pp.155-159. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v36i1.131.

In this paper I comment on several aspects of Martin Seel's paper "The Ability to Deliberate", mainly on his claims that deliberation is a form of action, on his not very clear distinction between deliberation and thought, and on the relation between normativity and deliberation. There are also some comments on practical and theoretical reasoning, as well as on Seel's characterization of reasons.

Keywords : deliberation; normativity; practical reasoning; theoretical reasoning; reasons.
