DESCRIPTION:<p>Title: Causalism<br><br>Abstract: &ldquo\;Causalism&rdquo\; is sometimes used to pick out the leading conception of action. On this view\, having a certain kind of causal history&mdash\;one that includes the relevant mental events or states&mdash\;is what makes a behavior an action. In this talk I sketch and motivate a form of causalism that goes beyond the basic causalist view in that it also covers free action. According to &ldquo\;big picture&rdquo\; causalism\, having the relevant kind of causal history is both what makes a behavior an action and what makes it a free action. This central thesis provides the skeleton of the view. But I then discuss possible enrichments of the view that focus on the grounds of the relevant causal facts. In particular\, I lay out a version of a powers-enriched causalism.</p>\n<p>This event&nbsp\;will be held over Zoom.
