Habits figure in action-explanations because of their distinctive force. But what is the force of habit, and how does it motivate us? In this paper, I argue that the force of habit is the feeling of familiarity one has with the familiar course of action, where this feeling reveals a distinctive reason for acting in the usual way. I do this by considering and rejecting a popular account of habit's force in terms of habit's apparent automaticity, by arguing that one can do something out of habit and from deliberation, before going on to defend The Familiarity View.

习惯的力量

习惯因其独特的力量而出现在行动解释中。但习惯的力量是什么？它如何激励我们？在本文中，我认为习惯的力量是一个人对熟悉的行为过程所产生的熟悉感，这种感觉揭示了以通常方式行事的独特原因。为此，我在继续捍卫熟悉性观点之前，考虑并拒绝了一种关于习惯明显自动性的习惯力量的流行说法，论证了一个人可以出于习惯和深思熟虑而做某事。
