摘要: 自由行动包括能动性与合理性两大要素。有两种解释自由行动的理论:理由因果主义与行动者因果性。相较于理由因果主义,行动者因果性能更好地说明能动性。解释自由行动,不仅需要说明能动性与合理性,还需要阐述二者的关系,然而,最有代表性的两类行动者因果性模型都无法调和二者。克拉克的行动者因果性模型会削弱能动性,奥康纳的行动者因果性模型会遭遇理由二难质疑,无法说明合理性,二者的共同缺陷在于预设了行动者的能动作用与理由相分离。一种康德式行动者因果性主张,为行动提供合理化解释的基本理由根植于行动者的本性,因此行动者施展能动作用的同时,也在提供理由。康德式行动者因果性可以有效调和能动性与合理性,从而解释自由行动。

Abstract: Free action includes two elements—agency and rationality. There are two theories to explain free action, i.e.,reason-causalism and agent-causality. Compared with causality,agent-causality can illustrate agency better. The explanation of free action needs not only agency and rationality,but also the relationship between the two. However, neither of the two representative models of agent-causality can reconcile the two. Randolph Clarke's agent-causality would weaken agency,while Timothy O'Connor's agent-causality would meet the dilemma of reasons and cannot explain rationality. The common flaw of them is that they presuppose that the agent's active role and reasons are separate. A Kantian agent-causality claims that the basic reasons that explain rationally actions are rooted in the essential properties of the agent;therefore,when the agent exerts the active role,he is also providing the reason. In this way,Kantian agent-causality can effectively reconcile agency and rationality,thus explaining free action.
