Abstract

Our theory of agency asks us to remain within the realm of the cognitive: it is a theory meant to describe the nature of the relations of the cognitive states required by a theory of agency. It is a theory which takes us from those cognitive states which are emanations of the physical at one end to those which emanate in the physical at the other. An action, then, being the expression of cognitive causation at the end which emanates in the physical, implicates a state like desire at the other. This state must have the properties of cognitivity and efficacy in order for what emanates in action to have a mental aetiology.
