Ludwig Wittgenstein's contributions to the philosophy of action   voluntariness as a psychological occurrence ‐ needing to be present on top of physical movements involving an action   willing is thought to be a mental occurrence, but a mental occurrence must be either voluntary or involuntary   voluntary bodily action ‐ a bodily movement caused by a mental act   Wittgenstein's principal claim ‐ about reasons, that they must be distinguished from causes   first‐person authority ‐ applying even to reasons given for one's past actions   Wittgenstein calling a “motive” ‐ what a person could sincerely have offered as a justification of his action at the time   Wittgenstein's principal claim, that we can always be wrong about the causes of our actions but not about our reasons
