How we act causes, reasons, and intentions

Attempts to answer the question of whether it is possible to understand agency as realized within a world construed 'naturalistically', that is, in terms of causal relations among events and states of affairs, or whether an adequate ontology requires sui generis acts that are essentially voluntary, such as volitions or agent-causation. Berent Enç defends the possibility of naturalizing agency via a causal theory of action (CTA).

  • "Talking about action comes easily to us. We quickly make distinctions between voluntary and non-voluntary actions and think we can tell what intentions are. Berent Enç provides a philosopher's sustained examination of these issues."
