Motivations

Abstract
This chapter discusses the main motivations to embrace causalism about action, and how those motivations can be extended to free action. Part of the discussion focuses on Frankfurt’s argument against the relevance of alternative possibilities for freedom and moral responsibility (the argument based on “Frankfurt-style cases”). The chapter argues that causalism is the simplest and most ecumenical conception of what acting and acting freely amount to; thus, it deserves to be regarded as the default view of our practical agency.
