 Might the actish feel of some occurrence itself constitute that event’s activeness, the agent’s exercise of active control? Can an event’s seeming to oneself to be one’s performing an action suffice for its being so? This seems doubtful. As Ginet (1990: 9) allows, an event with the indicated intrinsic quality might be brought about by direct stimulation of someone’s brain, in the absence of any relevant desire or intention on the part of that person. An occurrence produced in this way and in these circumstances would hardly seem to be an exercise of the subject’s agency.
