What is the nature of agency? How should we construe the relation between agents and actions? How can agency be part of the event-causal order? In this section, we will first turn to the three main approaches in the metaphysics of agency that provide three different frameworks for how to think about such metaphysical questions (the event-causal, the agent-causal, and the volitionist framework). After considering some problems and objections, we turn to an alternative approach that rejects the project of providing a metaphysics of agency (dual standpoint theory). Finally, we briefly consider the individuation of actions and some further issues in the metaphysics of agency.
