Abstract

Rescuing Mele/Robb Cases

 

Resumen: Mi intención en este trabajo es exponer algunas dudas sobre las consideraciones que Carlos Moya (2017) esgrime en contra de un tipo particular de “Caso Frankfurt”: el “caso de bloqueo” descrito por Mele y Robb (1998). En primer lugar, argumento que el caso de Mele/Robb es un contraejemplo exitoso al Principio de Posibilidades Alternativas aún si, en contra de lo que sus proponentes sugieren, la acción relevante está causada de manera determinista. Por otro lado, argumento que el agente en el caso Mele/Robb ejercita un tipo relevante de control racional sobre su acción.

Palabras clave: Frankfurt, Moya, sobredeterminación, sensibilidad a razones.

 

Abstract: My goal in this paper is to expose some doubts about the arguments that Carlos Moya (2017) addresses against a particular Frankfurt-style case: the “blockage case” described by Mele and Robb (1998). I argue first that the Mele/Robb case is a succesful counterexample to the Alternative Possibilities Principle even if, against what its proponents suggest, the relevant action is deterministically caused. Second, I argue that the agent in the Mele/Robb case exercises a relevant sort of rational control over her action.

Keywords: Frankfurt, Moya, overdetermination, reasons-responsiveness.
