Preferred term
modal logic and intentional agency
Definition
- Actions such as raising one's arm, switching on a computer, or killing someone are investigated in several areas of philosophy, among others in the philosophy of action, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of law. Through the analogy between actions and software programs, the concept of agency is also relevant in computer science, in particular in artificial intelligence (AI), multi-agent systems, and theoretical computer science.
