On miller's paradoxes and circles

Abstract

In this paper, 1 reply to A. R. Miller's ‘Correct vs. “Merely True” Act‐Descriptions’ (this issue). I explain that my distinction between true and correct descriptions of human behavior does not turn on the notion of an ‘unbound action’, and hence is not circular in the way Miller suggests. I also discuss his claim that the way I have drawn the distinction leads to ‘certain unacceptable consequences for action theory’.
