330 .. $a The author argues that only the actual causes of our behavior matter to our freedom.
Although this simple view of freedom clashes with most theories of responsibility,
including the most prominent "actual sequence" theories currently on offer, the author
argues for its truth. The key, she claims, lies in a correct understanding of the
role played by causation in a view of that kind. causation has some important features
that make it a responsibility-grounding relation, and this contributes to the success
of the view. Also, when agents act freely, the actual causes are richer than they
appear to be at first sight; in particular, they reflect the agents' sensitivity to
reasons, where this includes both the existence of actual reasons and the absence
of other (counterfactual) reasons. so acting freely requires more causes and quite
complex causes, as opposed to fewer causes and simpler causes, and is compatible with
those causes being deterministic. The book connects two different debates, the one
on causation and the one on the problem of free will, in new and illuminating ways
