Consideraciones epistemológicas acerca del “sentido de agencia”. Epistemological Requirements of the Sense of Agency

Abstract

We discuss the conditions that the knowledge of an action must meet to reach the status of agency or complete intentional action. A first problem is to account how the subject appears in the action. We consider the model of a "sense of agency" and we oppose a theory of action control that does not take in charge the epistemological problems associated to the sense of agency model. Our claim is that epistemological requirements are intrinsic components of the agency, and therefore that a theory of action must take in account an epistemological perspective in some nuclear aspects of the production of actions.
