How can there be reasoning to action?

In general we think of reasoning as a way of moving from some body of evidence to a belief that is drawn as a conclusion from it.But is it possible for reasoning to conclude in action, i.e., in a person's intentionally doing one thing or another?Aristotle seems to have thought so: for example, whenever one thinks that every man ought to walk, and that one is a man oneself, straightaway one walks; or that, in this case, no man should walk, one is a man: straightaway one remains at rest.And so one acts in the two cases provided there is nothing to compel or prevent.Again, I ought to create a good, a house is good: straightaway he makes a house.I need a covering, a coat is covering: I need a coat.What I need I ought to make, I need a coat: I make a coat.And the conclusion "I must make a coat" is an action.(De Motu Animalium 7, 701a12-20)The details of this passage are obscure, but I'm going to take Aristotle to be drawing our attention to the way that what a person intentionally does-for example, the action of walking, remaining at rest, making a house or a coat, etc.-is similar to what a person believes in that both can be explained by displaying the reasoning that is their ground.This is the sort of thing we seem to do in real-life contexts.For example: When I started 8 Faces in 2010, it seemed like a crazy idea to start a print magazine.Not only was I a web designer, but everyone was going crazy for digital everything, especially iPad magazines.But I did it because I wanted to create something that would last; something that put me in touch with the physical world. 2 So I think many Uber drivers are driving for, I mentioned one part of the reason I was driving was because I didn't have huge social network.The other part, the reason I was driving is that I moved from Minnesota to Chicago and Chicago is a very expensive city.I think a lot of Uber drivers drive for the same reason.I did it because
