(2012) Phenomenology, Dordrecht, Springer.
Considerations about the senses of ownership and agency in regard to the embodied minimal aspects of self are only a small part of a larger story. The sense of agency, and action itself, scale up to more narrative aspects of self and into realms that are better described in terms of intentions, reasons for acting, freedom and responsibility. Narratives about ourselves and others are not about the minimal dimensions of perceptual experience, the prereflective details of motor control, or the elemental or integrative timescales of milleseconds or seconds. They are about actions and events that occur over time and in the larger contexts of the world.
