What is Spontaneity and Cognitive Agency about?
Cognitive agency -the idea that our judgments and beliefs are manifestations of agency on our part -is a deeply entrenched aspect of our self-conception as persons. And yet it has proven hard to give a satisfying account of what such agency might consist in. In this paper I argue that getting clear about Kant's notion of spontaneity might help us make progress in that debate. In particular, I argue that the very same assumption -namely, that agency must be understood on the model of production -has been holding us back in both areas.
