Abstract
One way to start thinking about agency is to try to distinguish the special way that
reasons are involved in action from the way that reasons are involved in inanimate
nature. Consider the following pair of explanations:
Explanation A. The reason the soufflé collapsed is that the oven door was opened at
the wrong time. Explanation B. The reason John collapsed onto the sofa was that he was exhausted
after a hard day at work.
