  • The Disappearing Agent and the Phenomenology of Agency

    Open AccessJingbo HuARTICLEErkenntnis2025

    The causal theory of action is thought to be plagued by the problem of the disappearing agent.

Specifically, reasons-responsiveness conceived as a modal property does not pertain to the actual sequence of the agent's action and thereby it is irrelevant to the agent's freedom and moral responsibility. Call this the challenge of irrelevance. In this article, I present this …
