Handeln, Tun Explanation: as in : richtet sein Handeln/Tun darauf, Strukturen zu ändern oder einfach : handelt um Strukturen zu ändern = acts in order to change Humans can and should be agents in the sense that they can decide and act to realize their aims, often making a difference to the world. Regardless of whether a person’s goals are altruistic or self-regarding, her “agency achievement refers to the realization of goals and values she has reasons to pursue” (Sen 1992: 56). For Sen, if one is acted on by outside persons or other forces or happens to act on a whim or impulse but for no reason, one is not an agent (in charge of herself) but a “patient,” a passive object, acted on by external or internal forces over which one has no control. A person as agent is “someone who acts and brings about change, and whose achievements can be judged in terms of her own values and objectives, whether or not we assess them in terms of some external criteria as well” (Sen 1999b: 19). http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amartya_Sen Amartya Sen -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2007-05-25 18:17:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- here is the link for the paragraph I quoted: http://www.wam.umd.edu/~dcrocker/Courses/Docs/Crocker-Sen an... |
