The Philosophical Review, 1992
Abstract Beliefs, desires, and other intentional attitudes figure prominently in everyday explanations of intentional human behavior.

Abstract Mental causation is held so dear because it seems essential in order for people to do anything (at least voluntarily). If one accepts Davidson's view that motivating reasons are causes, then (as Kim puts it) ‘agency is possible only if mental causation is possible’.
