摘要
Here it is argued that in order for something someone "does" to count as a genuine action, the person needn't have been able to refrain from doing it. If this is right, then two recent defenses of the principle of alternative possibilities, a version of which says that a person is morally responsible for what he has done only if he could have refrained from doing it, are unsuccessful.
