English summary: The collected studies in this volume reexamine the philosophical concept of causality and its efforts to explain human action by associating mental states of desire and belief with bodily actions. French description: En quoi consiste l’explication des actions humaines? Au sein de la philosophie analytique, la reponse standard a cette question, que les travaux de Davidson ont largement contribue a faconner, est la conception causaliste : expliquer une action consiste a mentionner la raison pour laquelle l’agent l’a accomplie, concue comme la combinaison particuliere d’etats mentaux (desir et croyance) dont l’occurrence est la cause des mouvements corporels constituant l’action. En identifiant les raisons a des causes, cette conception a fait ressurgir les questions metaphysiques modernes touchant la causalite mentale, la nature de l’esprit et sa relation au monde physique. Mais les difficultes auxquelles donne lieu le causalisme ne justifient-elles pas plutot son reexamen? C’est ce que se proposent de faire les auteurs des contributions reunies dans ce volume, que ce soit pour en defendre et en prolonger les intuitions fondatrices ou au contraire pour en contester le bien-fonde.
