Control in action
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation proposes a theory of action---the control theory of action---whose central commitment is that action is movement that is controlled by the mover. On the theory, movement is understood capaciously and control is characterized by a trio of conditions consisting of an aim condition, a modal condition, and an explanatory condition. The control theory of action is then used to answer a number of foundational questions about the nature of intentional action, the particular kind of action which has been the focus of much of contemporary philosophy of action.
