[edit] Human agency?
This entry would be better under the entry 'Agency' than the entry 'Human agency'. 'Agency' in this philosophical use of the term refers to any beings at all that have and exercise a certain kind of ability: god(s), aliens, computers, whatever. (Anarchia 20:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC))
[edit] ADDENDUM:
I added "on a collective basis, usually through democratic means" because human agency is always done through this manner. I also added "it operates on the basis God helps those who help themselves, in other words the will of God is determined through collective consensus of human beings."
I welcome any feedback.

I have removed that, because it is completely unsourced and enormously contraversial (as in unheard of) to boot. - mdb
[edit] Help?
I'm currently researching the subject in order to improve the article, but because the article is currently so limited I'm having trouble coming up with a reasonable structure etc. Leave a message over here or on my talk page if you want to help out a bit. Stdbrouw 22:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- There's an article called Moral agency that seems to be almost but not quite talking about the same thing from a different point of view. As a reader browsing through these articles, I'd like to see the two concepts distinguished, cross-referenced, or merged, whichever is appropriate. In the current state of things, they're strangers passing in the night who might happen to be long-lost siblings. -- Justinbb 15:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
