In “Will-Power: Essentially Embodied Agentive Phenomenology, By Way of O’Shaughnessy,” Robert Hanna focuses on three issues. First, he briefly describes the causally efficacious power of the minded animal will (or what Kant calls Willkür, aka “the power of choice”) in basic intentional actions, that is, intentional body movements, against the metaphysical backdrops of his essential embodiment theory of the mind-body relation and his metaphysics of free agency, Natural Libertarianism. Second, he describes some relevant comparisons and contrasts between his views about essentially embodied intentional action and O’Shaughnessy’s dual aspect theory of intentional action. And third and finally, he argues for the existence of a self-evident, veridical phenomenology of essentially embodied free agency, aka rational human minded animal agency.
