Abstract:
Just as observation is conditioned by our concepts of observables, so action is conditioned by our concepts of "doables". This phenomenon has implications for the question of moral universals, for the methodology of moral theory, and for the concept of moral responsibility.

Abstract:
I offer a new interpretation of Harry Frankfurt's philosophy of action, as it was presented in his book The Importance of What We Care About. I then suggest that kinds of activity celebrated in the Daoist doctrine of wu wei and in Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi's theory of "flow" would qualify as instances of "higher wantonness" under Frankfurt's theory.
action, moral psychology, Harry Frankfurt, Zhuangzi, Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi, flow, wu wei
