Dynamics In Action by Alicia Juarrero
Intentional Behavior as a Complex System
Argues that intentional behavior is best explained through nonlinear dynamics and complex systems rather than linear, reductionist causation. It reframes causes as context-sensitive constraints and highlights emergence, circular causality, attractors, and path dependence across multiple levels. Integrating insights from philosophy of action and cognitive science, it models reasons and rationality as dynamical organizations shaped by histories and enabling constraints.
