Free will and the phenomenology of agency

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter (Book)Otherpeer-review

Abstract

For most of the twentieth Century, questions concerning free will were approached from the perspective of metaphysics and the philosophy of language, and the conscious aspects of free agency-what it’s like to experience oneself as a free agent-received cursory attention at best. Things have changed over the last decade or so, and there is now a lively and rapidly growing literature devoted to questions that lie at the interface between the phenomenology of agency and accounts of free will.
