SUMMARY OF ALL EXPLANATIONS PROVIDED | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
4 +10 | interior-exterior |
|
interior-exterior Explanation: for me motivation need not be external, and usually isn't - I am motivated by personal drive, ambition etc, i.e. an interior force. Incentive gives the idea of some reward (not necessarily material, however) of external provenance -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2008-04-14 08:15:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So, to answer your question, in the case of Cassirer, it could be either; it would depend what drove him to write it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2008-04-14 08:19:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Oxford Dictionary of English definitions seem to back this view up: incentive: a thing that motivates someone to do something motivation: a reason for acting or behaving in a particular way an incentive is an exterior 'thing'; motivatiuon depends on interior 'reasoning' |
