Are actions bodily movements?

The view that actions are bodily movements, also known as
corporealism, was much discussed in the latter half of the
twentieth century, but now commands fewer adherents. The
present paper argues that earlier proponents of corporealism
missed the crucial feature of actions that tells in favour of actions
being bodily movements. Focusing on this crucial feature
provides us with the resources for responding to arguments
against corporealism and in favour of alternative accounts.
