His primary work is in the field of philosophy of mind, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of action, and the free will debate.  He is the author of Teleological Realism: Mind, Agency and Explanation (MIT University Press, 2005) in which he takes a controversial, non-causalist view of action explanation. Sehon has also published in the area of Philosophy of Religion, with a particular focus on the problem of evil and whether or not religious faith is a necessary foundation for morality.

Sehon received his B.A. in philosophy from Harvard University, where he worked with Warren D. Goldfarb, and earned a Ph.D. in philosophy at Princeton University, where he worked with Mark Johnston and Harry Frankfurt.  His thesis was titled: "Action Explanation and the Nature of Mental States."
