Free will and intentional action
Philosophia 16 (December):355-364 (1986)
| Abstract | I argue for the following analysis of a freely willed action: an act is done of one's own free will, if and only if, it is an intentional act performed by one acting as a rational agent from unobstructed reasons, and so situated that he or she has the capacity to forbear from performing it. | |||||||||
