Understanding Agency - Conceptual Attainment
Conditions d’achèvement
What is agency?
Not even scientists can really agree on a single definition, or even to which kinds of phenomena in the world the concept of agency might apply!
That means you will need to reason through the many possible examples of agency in the world, and develop the skills to justify where and how you apply the concept.
Sort the concepts below into the approximate categories of agency (or no agency) that you feel they apply.
Ask yourself:
On what basis am I sorting these?
What ambiguities arise as I am reasoning through these?
