Sommario/riassunto

Worin besteht der Unterschied zwischen dem, was ein Akteur tut, und



dem, was ihm lediglich widerfährt? Den Kontrast zwischen Handlungen und bloßen Ereignissen zu erklären, ist das zentrale Problem der Handlungstheorie. Bisher gingen Philosophinnen und Philosophen stets davon aus, dass der Unterschied zwischen aktivem und passivem Verhalten allein durch Verweis auf die besonderen Produktionsbedingungen von Handlungen erklärt werden könne. Aber dies ist nicht der Fall. Die Kernthese dieser Arbeit ist, dass Handlungen nur verstanden und erklärt werden können, wenn man sowohl die produktiven als auch die inhibitorischen Aspekte von Handlungskontrolle berücksichtigt. Trotz der Bedeutung inhibitorischer Kontrolle im Alltag gibt es derzeit weder eine philosophische Auseinandersetzung damit noch einen philosophischen Ansatz, der inhibitorische Kontrolle erklären würde. Das Ziel des Buches ist es, diese Lücke in der philosophischen Forschungsliteratur zu schließen.
