ABSTRACT
First, perhaps, we should narrow the scope of possible actions under the same set of circumstances. It would mean that not everything is possible to will and to do under the same set of (antecedent) circumstances. But it would also mean that not only one inevitable action is possible but a certain range of them. So, both at the level of rational (intentional) explanation and “physical” explanation we should have descriptions which do not (causally) necessitate. Rational reasons provide what is best or most rational for an agent to do but they do not causally necessitate that agent would inevitably do what it prescribes; and rational explanation in virtue of these reasons does explain why agent does according to it if agent really takes that course of action which is prescribed by what is most rational to do. But it does not explain agent’s actions as inevitable and comlpetely determined by previous states and laws of nature. So, perhaps “physical” situation of an agent should also be such that it does not necessitate the outcome what agent will do.
