What is the nature of everyday explanations of actions? What are intentions? How is agency possible in a natural world? How is it possible for an agent to act intentionally against her own judgment about what she ought to do? What sort of knowledge does an agent have of her own intentional action? How is agency related to (moral) responsibility? Can groups or organizations act or be agents?
