Abstract:
Abstract The behavioral agency theory verifies the relationship between company executives, CEOs, and managers, and their decision-making within the firm. The mechanisms of governance and the forms of remuneration are instruments that monitor internal members avoiding risks that potentially harm the organization’s valuation. This article highlights the importance of the behavioral agency theory both for firms that trust their decision-making process to an agent and for the behavior of this agent. Both aspects are subject to concerns that usually lead to recommendations to establish or improve

Abstract:
In this paper, I consider whether an argument for compatibilism about free will and determinism might be developed from the thought that God’s agency seems consistent with the rational determination of at least some divine actions by the True and the Good. I attempt to develop such an argument and then consider how to respond to it from the point of view of my own position, which I call Agency Incompatibilism. I argue that a crucial premise in the argument is ambiguous and offer responses to the argument on behalf of the Agency Incompatibilist, on each of the two disambiguations.

Abstract:
In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in agents and multi-agent systems in a variety of areas including artificial intelligence, and software engineering. Agent technology, however, is still relatively young, and there is much debate and discussion over many important concepts and the relevant terminology. In particular, in a great deal of agent research, agents themselves are defined in wildly different ways, if at all, and this makes it extremely difficult to be explicit about their nature and functionality. These problems have arisen in part due to the lack of a common st

Abstract:
It is claimed that action discourse provides us with a criterion of adequacy for a theory of action; that with action discourse we have a family of concepts which a theory of action must accommodate. After an exegesis of Davidson's essay "Agency", it is argued that his semantics of action is incompatible with our concepts of motivation and responsibility for action and of attributions of action and agency, and must, therefore, be rejected. A theory of rational agency is presented within which are to be found accounts of intention, coming to intend, intentional action, and an alternative semant

A presente tese de doutorado descreve uma pesquisa interdisciplinar nas áreas de criatividade computacional e agentes cognitivos. A motivação para a integração dessas áreas é o estudo da habilidade humana de utilizar suas experiências prévias e conhecimento geral para resolver problemas e lidar com situações a partir do momento em que as mesmas são apresentadas. Imbuídos dessa motivação, nosso propósito é ampliar a utilização do conhecimento de agentes, inspirado na forma como, nós, humanos entendemos e vivenciamos o mundo.

Abstract:
There are two central arguments in this project. The first is a kind of ‘second-order’ argument, that is, an argument about the dialectical situation of an existing argument (namely, about the ‘free will problem’). The second is a straightforward argument about agency, but one which can be better addressed—I claim—once the second-order argument has been made. The ‘free will problem’ is widely claimed to be one of the perennial philosophical problems. But it is not one that has any widely accepted solution. The reason for this, as others have acknowledged, is due in large part to the wide range

Abstract:
The main objective of this thesis is to defend an account of the control that agents possess over their actions from the perspective of the causal theory of action, that is, a theory that sees actions as events caused by internal states of their agents. The explanatory strategy that is employed for this purpose consists in addressing three interdependent and fundamental problems concerning the possibility of this type of control. The first problem arises from the possibility of controlling an action that is itself transitively caused by previous events. The answer given to this problem

Agent technology has been revisited as a complementary approach to the object paradigm in order to design and implement complex distributed software. Objects and agents have many similarities, but agents are also driven by beliefs, goals, capabilities, plans, and a number of agency properties such as autonomy, adaptation, interaction, learning and mobility. Moreover, cooperating software agents must incorporate different collaborative capabilities in order to work together in heterogeneous contexts. In practice, a complex application is composed of objects and multiple types of agents, each of

I argue for the adoption of a more restricted understanding of agent in AI-research, one that comes closer in its meaning to how the term is used in the philosophies of mind, action, and agency. I propose such a more narrowing understanding of agent, suggesting that an agent can be seen as entity or system that
