ABSTRACT

Thus the entire orientation of the decompositional approach points us away from the standpoint of the agent, and toward a consideration of actions as defi nite, achieved realities: realities in the life of some agent, to be sure, but considered in such a way that the practical point of view of this agent toward the relevant event does not come into the foreground, and the question of what binds the parts or phases of this event into a unity does not easily arise.
