The paper discusses the view of William James on the contribution of will to our decisions to act. According to James, our voluntary action, which for him is strongly connected with an intention to do something, occurs when the subject of the action knows its sensorimotor effects. An attempt has been made to defend James’ view and rebut popular criticisms aiming to undermine the role of knowledge in voluntary action. The paper also offers to identify a contemporary context for the ideomotor theory of action. It is argued that such a context is provided by the enactive theory of perception.

Artykuł omawia stanowisko Williama Jamesa odnośnie do udziału woli w podejmowa-niu decyzji o działaniu. Według Jamesa działanie wolitywne (voluntary action), wiązane przez niego z intencją zrobienia czegoś (with intention of doing something), ma miejsce wówczas, gdy działający podmiot (the subject who is doing the action) zna sensomotoryczne efekty podjętego działania (knows sensorimotor effects of her action). Szczególny nacisk położono na próbę obrony stanowiska Jamesa przed popularną krytyką podważającą rolę tej wiedzy w działaniu wolitywnym. Końcowa część artykułu zawiera propozycję znalezienia współczesnego kontekstu dla ideomotorycznej teorii działania. Ma nim być enaktywna teoria percepcji (enactive theory of perception).

The paper considers the issue of moral motivation in light of recent construals and accounts of Freud's views. It attempts to show the merits of taking some Freudian claims, especially those concerning the development of superego, as giving a plausible naturalistic picture of dynamic process of assimilation of Kantian categorical imperative. In the course of this attempt the views of such philosophers as R. Wollheim, J. Lear, and D. Velleman are being invoked and discussed.
