Mele develops a view of paradigmatically free actions--including decisions--as indeterministically caused by their proximal causes. He mounts a masterful defense of this thesis that includes solutions to problems about luck and control widely discussed in the literature on free will and moral responsibility....

The libertarian theory of free will combines a negative thesis and a positive thesis. The negative thesis is that free will is incompatible with determinism. The positive thesis is that there are actions that involve exercises of free will---'free actions,' for short. While remaining neutral on this negative thesis, Aspects of Agency develops a detailed version of the positive thesis that represents paradigmatically free actions as indeterministically caused by their proximal causes and pays special attention to decisions so instigated. The bulk of Mele's work is a masterful defense of a positive libertarian thesis against objections to theses of its kind. Aspects of Agency includes solutions to problems about luck and control that are widely discussed in the literature on free will and moral responsibility. The seven chapters on free will are preceded by an introductory chapter and three chapters on central issues in the philosophy of action that bear on standard treatments of free will: deciding to act, agents' abilities, and commitments of a causal theory of action explanation....

The agency is the hidden reality of social work. Agency decisions determine which clients will be served, how they will be served, by whom, for how long, and at what cost. Social workers at all levels are increasingly called upon to supervise volunteers and para-professionals, to work collaboratively with other professionals, and to fulfill the requirements of new accountability mechanisms such as quality assurance schemes. Recent changes in social policy have meant unplanned and unserviced deinstitutionalization, service contraction, benefit reduction, and other threats to client well-being. To cope effectively with these trends, practitioners need to expand their repertoire of organizational roles. The purpose of this book is to provide a theoretical and practical underpinning for such an expansion. The book is divided into ten chapters, each corresponding to a discrete administrative role. Each chapter contains a substantial overview. Author note: All three authors are affiliated with the Hunter College School of Social Work....

Agency Theory is a new branch of economics which focusses on the roles of information and of incentives when individuals cooperate with respect to the utilisation of resources. Basic approaches are coming from microeco nomic theory as well as from risk analysis. Among the broad variety of ap plications are: the many designs of contractual arrangements, organiza tions, and institutions as well as the manifold aspects of the separation of ownership and control so fundamental for business finance. After some twenty years of intensive research in the field of information economics it might be timely to present the most basic issues, questions, models, and applications. This volume Agency Theory, Information, and Incentives offers introductory surveys as well as results of individual rese arch that seem to shape that field of information economics appropriately. Some 30 authors were invited to present their subjects in such a way that students could easily become acquainted with the main ideas of informa tion economics. So the aim of Agency Theory, Information, and Incentives is to introduce students at an intermediate level and to accompany their work in classes on microeconomics, information economics, organization, management theory, and business finance. The topics selected form the eight sections of the book: 1. Agency Theory and Risk Sharing 2. Information and Incentives 3. Capital Markets and Moral Hazard 4. Financial Contracting and Dividends 5. External Accounting and Auditing 6. Coordination in Groups 7. Property Rights and Fairness 8. Agency Costs....

Excerpt from Elements of the Law of Agency A volume of selected cases to accompany the text is in preparation, and will shortly appear. The desire to keep the volume within as small a compass as possible made it inexpedient to give references to parallel series of reports in the foot notes, but this defect has been in part remedied by printing such references in the table of cases.viii preface. It were ungrateful not to acknowledge the debt owing to previous writers On this subject. The works of Mr. Justice Story, Mr. Wharton, Mr. Evans and his American editor, Mr. Ewell, and the more recent work of Mr. Mechem, have been of the greatest assist ance, and are among the permanent treasures of our legal literature. It is hoped that this little volume may serve to introduce the student to an important branch of the law of obligation which he will pursue further in these works of the masters.
