In what follows I come up with a definition of "an action" that is the core of one account of the concept of action. The account will not be unfamiliar; it is presented here as an alternative to that which Michael Moore presents in Act and Crime.' I shall show that Moore can accept my proposed definition, which indeed fits neatly with some of the pieces of his own account, and that he has nothing to lose from endorsing my account, which is capable of doing all the work that he asks of his own. In a sense, then, my project is conciliatory. I do not expect to win Moore's immediate agreement, however, because his account incorporates a number of claims that my alternative shuns. I shall argue that these additional claims of Moore are the products of a pervasive confusion, and of a spurious reductionism.
