Concept information

Preferred term

human agency  

Definition(s)

  • The concept of human agency refers to the ability of humans to make conscious choices and communicate these to other people. It stands in contrast to the simplistic concept of free will, which argues that our choices are not the process of causal chains of social interaction and ultimately are undetermined by such relations.
