Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to discuss Adolf Reinach’s account of agency and his phenomenological approach to agency. I will show that Reinach’s account of agency concerns intentional acts, rather than intentional bodily actions, and explain how it is grounded in a phenomenological account of intentional lived experiences (Erlebnisse) that are characterized by different levels of positionality.
