Strawson's Argument
Strawson's attempts to break down the Basic Argument into conversational language which, while helpful, does not lead me to agree with his idea. His adjusted argument goes a bit like this: one does what one does because one is oneself. The only way to adjust oneself is to act, but since one acts according to oneself, one would have to make infinitely expounding choices about who one is and how to be and how to change. This would lead one to suppose that it's impossible to create oneself and as such, one cannot be held accountable for oneself because one did not make oneself because of the previously states infinite number of decisions one would have to make about who one is.
