How to Change the Past Karen Jones Review "Narrative conceptions of agency have attracted considerable philosophical interest in recent years, and this book makes a significant contribution to the growing literature on this theme...Along with Mackenzie's introduction, which helpfully contextualizes and thematizes the volumes, these papers treat a rich array of interrelated topics. They are not only individually worth reading, but also resonate with one another and work well together as a collection." -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Review Quote "Narrative conceptions of agency have attracted considerable philosophical interest in recent years, and this book makes a significant contribution to the growing literature on this theme...Along with Mackenzie's introduction, which helpfully contextualizes and thematizes the volumes, these papers treat a rich array of interrelated topics.
