Agency Incompatibilism and Divine Agency
European Journal for Philosophy of Religion, 2015In this paper, I consider whether an argument for compatibilism about free will and determinism might be developed from the thought that God’s agency seems consistent with the rational determination of at least some divine actions by the True and the Good.

Public Agencies and Private Agencies
American Political Science Review, 1924Is there any fundamental distinction between so-called “public” and “private” agencies, officers, institutions, corporations, associations, persons—legal entities and quasi-entities of all sorts? It is the theory of the courts that such a distinction exists, but their attempts through a maze of decisions logically to establish a principle of ...

From Individual Agency to Co-agency
2014Despite a long tradition in philosophy and theology, later on in sociology, and nowadays visible in (social) psychology and neuroscience, we are still far from operating with a unitary framework for what agency is. This chapter will open with a discussion of four classic yet largely fruitless debates on this topic: (a) agency between complete freedom ...

Nature, agency, and the nature of agency
Philosophical Inquiries, 2018I examine skeptical arguments about the constitutive nature of agency, with special attention to those of Elijah Millgram.

Current Anthropology, 2011
This article addresses the challenges a neoliberal conception of agency poses to anthropologists. I first discuss the kind of self that a neoliberal agency presupposes, in particular a self that is a flexible bundle of skills that reflexively manages oneself as though the self was a business.

Synthese, 1999
In Intentionality and other works, John Searle establishes himself as a leading defender of the view that consciousness of what one is doing is always a component of one’s action. In this paper I focus on problems with Searle’s view to establish that there are actions in which the agent is not at all aware of what she is doing.

Tourist Studies, 2001
The concept of ‘the gaze’ brings a philosophical concern for the human subject and human ‘agency’ to tourism studies. Foucault’s concept of the gaze, advocated by Urry, presupposes a narcissistic subject within which there is a deterministic fit between self and society. This article proposes for tourism studies an alternative to the Foucault/Urry idea
