Contribution to the Cognitive Value of Systems of Logic of Agency
Abstract
In this article the two approaches towards representation of action, namely the Anselmian and Davidsonian ones, are described and compared. Especially the ontological commitment of the two approaches are brought to light. The central problem of the paper is the question of adequacy of these approaches to representation of actions.
