 McGeer’s account does not invoke the idea of rational agency. This means that it does not rest on positing a distinctive agential faculty, and allows its scope to extend beyond reasons-sensitive attitudes such as beliefs and intentions. For example, saying (or judging) “I want to go to the beach” commits one to act in ways that make sense given that desire: e.g., to go to the beach when an opportunity presents itself. The normativity of this commitment stems not from the requirements of rationality but, instead, from our ordinary practical obligations. In expressing an attitude, we provide others with ways of explaining and predicting our behavior; this obligates us to behave in ways that fit the attitudes we express or self-ascribe (or to convey that our attitudes have changed).
