Chapter 8. Action <strong>and</strong> agent. Picture: Allsport. Description: Cassius Clay<br />
(Muhammad Ali) l<strong>and</strong>s a right on Brian London during their Heavyweight World<br />
Title Fight at Earls Court, London. Commentary: When there is no action there<br />
is no agent, neither exists per se. Action <strong>and</strong> agent are not isolated<br />
components; they arise only by their dependence on other bodies. Not the<br />
behaviour <strong>of</strong> bodies but the behaviour <strong>of</strong> something between them is essential.
