The introduction gives an overview of the philosophical problem of agency: How does agency fit into the natural world as described by the sciences? We introduce the general methodology of modelling and specify what that means in the case of agency, where an initial explication of the notion is required. We briefly introduce the agency model of Projective Simulation to be discussed later in the book. We mention that the notion of experiment takes on a special role in quantum mechanics, because the experimenter’s active role is ineliminable there. The introduction also includes a per-chapter overview of the five main chapters of the book.

The introduction gives an overview of the philosophical problem of agency: How does agency fit into the natural world as described by the sciences? We introduce the general methodology of modelling and specify what that means in the case of agency, where an initial explication of the notion is required. We briefly introduce the agency model of Projective Simulation to be discussed later in the book. We mention that the notion of experiment takes on a special role in quantum mechanics, because the experimenter’s active role is ineliminable there. The introduction also includes a per-chapter overview of the five main chapters of the book.
