 David Weissman, "Agency: Moral Identity and Free Will" English | ISBN: 1783748761 | 2020 | 212 pages | PDF | 8 MB There is agency in all we do: thinking, doing, or making. We invent a tune, play, or use it to celebrate an occasion. Or we make a conceptual leap and ask more abstract questions about the conditions for agency.

Acting in the Night: Macbeth and the Places of the Civil War By Alexander Nemerov 2010 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 0520251865 | PDF | 6 MB What can the performance of a single play on one specific night tell us about the world this event inhabited so briefly?
