; Agency Landmarks
: '''The 'Anscombe' Revolution (1957)''' → Her book *Intention* proved that "Action" is not a "Feeling in the head," but a "Way of Being" in the world.
: '''AI Agency''' → Can a "Robot" have "Intentionality"? (If a robot 'Intends' to 'Clean the floor,' is it 'Acting' or just 'Following Code'?).
: '''Akrasia (Weakness of Will)''' → When you "Intend" to do **X** (e.g. 'Study'), but you "Do" **Y** (e.g. 'Watch TV'). It is the "Glitch" in human agency.
: '''Libet’s Experiment''' → A brain scan that showed the "Brain Starts Moving" **before** the person "Decides to move." It raised the terrifying question: "Is Agency an Illusion?"
