“…PAP simply claims that you will never fi nd a case in which someone is morally responsible for an action or choice, although she lacked alternatives to that action or choice. This is consistent with something besides the lack of alternatives, though cor-3 Versions of this objection are found in Widerker (1995aWiderker ( , 1995b; Kane (1985Kane ( , 1996; Ginet (1996); and Goetz (2005).

“…And let us also grant that determinism, in some manner or other, must be assumed in order for alternative possibilities to be eliminated. 7 Though Goetz (2005) claims otherwise: 'The proponent of PAP thinks that the lack of the freedom to choose otherwise does not by itself explain the absence of moral responsibility. This is because he believes that when this lack obtains, its obtaining is itself explained by, and can only be explained by, the occurrence of causal determinism in the actual sequence of events.…”

“…Stewart Goetz contends that in general, the absence of the relevant alternative possibility in a Frankfurt case can only be explained by the agent's being causally determined by factors beyond his control in the actual sequence, and that this is so in Tax Evasion as well (2005, 2009: 101–106). After all, that Joe decides to evade taxes is entailed by the elements of the set‐up of the example, which are beyond Joe's control.…”

“…This, however, leaves us either with semi-compatibilism about moral responsibility and not compatibilism about free will (Fischer and Ravizza 1998), or it results in revisionist accounts which simply deny that free will requires the ability to do otherwise (Frankfurt 1971;Dennett 1984;Vargas 2007). More importantly, the argument from Frankfurt-style examples has been rather controversial (Ekstrom 2002;Widerker 2003;Goetz 2005;Vihvelin 2013: Ch. 4).…”
