Agency and Two‐Way Powers
Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society 113 (1pt1):101-121 (2013)
Abstract
In this paper I propose a way of characterizing human agency in terms of the concept of a two‐way power. I outline this conception of agency, defend it against some objections, and briefly indicate how it relates to free agency and to moral praise‐ and blameworthiness.Author's Profile
