With all the problems that causality brings to philosophy of the mind, shouldn’t we begin to look at other options. Briefing: How can causality explain “I went to the kitchen because that is what I wanted to do.” It has trouble expressing intentions. Shouldn’t we begin to consider the possibility that human action can not be entirely explained causally? Causality of intentional brain states seems problematic. Rather shoukdnt we consider that some human actions can be explained Teleologically. This would be a significant help to the free-will problem as well.
