Essay

Explain what Foot means when she says, "to explain an action is not necessarily to show that it could have been predicted from some fact about the agent's character-that he is weak, greedy, sentimental, and so forth. We may if we like say that an action is never fully explained unless it has been shown to be covered by a law which connects it to such a character trait."
