    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Agent-relative obligations require both intention and action (causation) to constitute human agency, not either alone.

    The supporting argument's P3 therefore presents a false dilemma, since a refined action-based account avoids overbreadth without requiring the conjunctive intention-plus-action standard.

    Key Terms

    Action-based account(in philosophy of action)
    A theory or explanation that defines something primarily by what people actually do, rather than by their thoughts or intentions alone.
    Conjunctive intention-plus-action standard(in philosophy of action)
    A requirement that something must have BOTH a person's intention AND their action together—'conjunctive' means both conditions must be true at the same time.
    False dilemma(as used in logic and argumentation)
    A logical mistake where you present only two choices when there are actually more options available, making an argument seem stronger than it really is.
    Overbreadth(in legal and philosophical analysis)
    When a rule, definition, or theory is too broad and covers too many things it shouldn't—like a net so wide it catches fish you didn't mean to catch.
