One section of this work argues against a "Bogy of Mechanism," and claims that the problem of free will is a false problem that arises from misuse of the words "voluntary" and "involuntary." The fifth chapter of this work contrasts "single-track" and "multi-tracked" concepts to explain its author's theory of dispositions. This work introduces one important concept by positing a visitor to Oxford who sees the buildings but asks "where is the university?" This work demonstrates an infinite regress to debunk the "intellectualist legend" that intelligent action is always preceded by theorizing, and it later suggests a solution to that problem in the distinction between "knowing how" and "knowing that."
