Outline of Annual Research Achievements

During the period from November 2017 to March 2018 I have done the following: A) I have started revising my book manuscript and B) submitted a book proposal to Routledge. C) I also wrote drafts for three papers for publication based on chapters 1 and 2, and sections of chapters 4 and 5 of my book manuscript with the following prospective titles: ‘Pluralism about Actions’, ‘The Doings - Things done Distinction’, ‘Transitive and Intransitive Verb Forms in Action Theory’. D) I delivered a talk at Keio University in December 2017 on ‘Monism and Pluralism about Action’, and E) one in February 2018 at Okayama University to the Setouchi Philosophy Forum with the title ‘Actions and their Causes’. F) I have also started working on two more papers to deliver at Tokyo University (25th April ‘Doings and Things Done’) and Keio University (27th April ‘The Difference between Transitive and Intransitive Verb Forms in Philosophy of Action’). G) In February 2018 I attended the RoboPhilosophy 2018 conference at the University of Wien, Austria on applications of philosophical work to questions of AI and society. H) I serve as editor of the website www.philosophyofaction.com.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

From April 2018 to October 2018, I will continue the revision of chapters of book with the focus on Monist event views and bodily movement views, carry on work on details of Pluralism: exploring details of what doings are - what capacities constitute doing something, and how they are connected to agency, and finish my papers on Monism vs Pluralism, and on the doings - things done distinction. I'll also deliver talks at Japanese Universities (organizing: Ritsumeikan, Nagoya, Hiroshima Technical University), and a Japanese High School at the Fukushima Prefectural High School, and in Hungary, at the Academy of Sciences and the University of Pecs.
