This volume is based on the lectures given in the Royal Institute of
Philosophy’s annual London lecture series 2015–16. The subject
was the philosophy of action and in it we were fortunate to be able
to bring together an internationally distinguished team of lecturers.
As befits the theme itself, a wide range of topics relating to action
are covered. These include the nature of action itself and its relation
to knowledge-how. There are a number of papers on issues relating
to freedom and responsibility, and also to the relation between
action and causation. Other papers consider the notion of planning
in relation to agency, and the connection between agency and practical abilities. And there are also considerations of virtue and ethical
concepts as applied to the notion of action.
The papers collected here will testify to the liveliness of discussions
of action in contemporary philosophy, and will also demonstrate the
way many ancient conceptions of action are being developed in contemporary philosophical thought.
On behalf of the Royal Institute of Philosophy I would like to
thank all the contributors most warmly both for their lectures and
for their written papers. I would also like to thank Adam Ferner
for his work on compiling the index and also on the series more
generally.
