Abstract
Agents are physical, living animals. They are the loci of movements and changes. They are also thinking, intending subjects. And they exist and develop in historical, social settings. There are among the facts we must fit together in a coherent picture of agency.
...only our deeds hold up before us the mirror of our will.
Schopenhauer
