Agent causation is a philosophical concept primarily discussed in the context of free will and moral responsibility. It refers to the idea that agents (typically human beings) can be the primary causes of their own actions in a way that is distinct from other forms of causation, such as event causation. In event causation, one event causes another based on a chain of prior events and conditions, whereas agent causation posits that individuals can initiate actions independently and exercise control over their choices.
