Agency, agents, and (sometimes) patients

John Drummond(Fordham University)

pp. 145-157

Abstract

Robert Sokolowski's Moral Action 1 is a remarkably imaginative extension of Husserl's doctrines of intentionality, categoriality, and identification and differentiation into the framework of Aristotle's moral philosophy. The work explores the nature of what Sokolowski calls "moral transactions." This paper shall explore a puzzle and a problem about the identities and differences between intrapersonal (or self-regarding) and interpersonal (or other-regarding) actions and their relevant virtues. By focusing on a few details of Sokolowski's account of moral transactions, I hope to supplement his thoughtful reflection with additional detail.
