Humean theory of motivation

The Humean theory of motivation suggests that our actions are driven by feelings of desire and aversion. According to this view, reasons for action aren’t objective facts but arise from our personal preferences and emotional responses. When we desire something, that desire creates a motivation to act, and if we dislike something, it can motivate us to avoid it. In essence, our behavior is motivated by what we value or dislike internally, rather than by rational considerations alone. This emphasizes that motivation closely ties to our subjective feelings rather than purely logical reasoning.
