Frankfurt cases, named after philosopher Harry Frankfurt, are thought experiments designed to illustrate certain aspects of free will and moral responsibility. They present scenarios in which a person appears to be morally responsible for their actions, even though an external factor could have potentially intervened to alter the outcome. The classic example involves a character named Jones who is about to make a choice (e.g., voting for a candidate).
