Abstract

La deliberation suppose une incertitude prealable. Toute action intentionnelle est-elle precedee par une telle incertitude? L'A. estime que cette incertitude antecedente est essentielle a l'action intentionnelle. L'ignorance sous-tend ainsi non seulement notre liberte de decision mais aussi notre capacite a agir. Agentivite et omniscience apparaissent ainsi comme incompatibles
