Naturalizing the Acting Self: Subjective vs. Anonymous Agency

摘要: This paper considers critically the enterprise of naturalizing subjective experience acting intentionally. I specifically expose limits model that conceives agency as composed two stages. The first stage consists in experiencing an anonymous intention without being conscious it anybody's particular. second disambiguates this thanks to a mechanism identification and attribution answering question: “who is intending act?” On basis phenomenological, clinical, methodological empirical considerations, contrast two-stage anonymity–attribution with alternative view intends bypass these problems by defining intrinsically at pre-reflective level.
