Abstract
Abstract This chapter briefly sums up the main themes of the book: first that unificationist accounts of agency lack argumentative support, and second, that because well-functioning agency requires normative competence, regular openness to ambivalence should be familiar to each of us. The chapter (and the book) concludes by briefly exploring how the account of well-functioning agency offered in In Praise of Ambivalence might lead us to feel, if not happy in the face of ambivalence-meriting conflicts, less distressed and better prepared to resolve those conflicts successfully. Regular experiences of ambivalence thus become expected and manageable element of the well-functioning agent’s life.
