Structure, Agency and Ontological Confusion: A Response to Hay

Author

  • Nigel Pleasants

Abstract

Colin Hay's article ‘King Canute and the “Problem” of Structure and Agency’ aims to: (1) ‘gain an interesting political analytical purchase on a seemingly familiar tale’, and (2) ‘generate a series of valuable and more general insights into our understanding of the structure–agency relationship’. I argue that he fails on both counts.
