I am currently finishing up my thesis and I have some trouble with setting a comma in the opening paragraph. Here is the sentence:
"I will argue that there is an intimate relation between knowledge and action[,] and that exploring this relation will provide us with an explanatorily powerful view about practical rationality."
Maybe it is just my brain not working anymore but I wonder whether I have to put a comma behind "action". If that makes a difference: The thesis is written in British English.
Thanks!
Comma and "and"

Re: Comma and "and"
(We don't normally answer questions about punctuation here, but...) The comma is optional here, but advisable.
