 A second objection is that the constitutivist strategy partly depends on the claim that agency is inescapable, but critics think that agency is as optional as any other particular activity (Enoch 2006; Tiffany 2012, Leffner 2019). Constitutivists have tried to answer Enoch’s “schmagency” objection by arguing that it fails to appreciate the inescapability of agency itself. While it is possible to disengage from any particular ordinary activities, some sort of agency continues to operate (Ferrero 2010a; Velleman 2009: 138–141; James 2012). In this sense, agency is not optional. Enoch has further objected that, even when some sort of activity is always in place, this is not enough to say that the norms constituting the activity produce normative reasons for action for any one agent (Enoch 2011b). But the constitutivist point is that questions about reasons to be agents must be taken up within agency (Velleman 2009: 204–206). One does not need a reason to be an agent rather than not, and so Enoch’s question is not a live question (Rosati 2016: 201 n. 71; Silverstein 2015: 1136–1138). A similar reply is produced on the basis of considerations about the desires that are appropriate to idealized agents (Smith 2012, 2013; Lindeman 2019). Finally, 0’Hagan (2014) defends a minimal conception of constitutivism against Enoch’s shmagency objection, arguing that agential constitutivism has the resources to take morality, normative and ethical deliberation seriously. She provides an analysis of the inescapability and nature of deliberation to support the conclusion that constitutivism coheres with the phenomenology of first-personal deliberation and supports a non-realist but robust account of moral objectivity.
