On the philosophically received view\, actions form a special subset of behaviors: they are \;behaviors motivated by reasons. Reasons\, in turn\, have often been construed in terms of agents&rsquo\; \;propositional attitudes. This view has come under pressure in recent years\, in part because it \;appears to exclude the behaviors of very young humans and nonhuman animals from the realm \;of action proper. The aim of &ldquo\;Kinds of Action&rdquo\; &ndash\; to be held online on Sat Feb 25\, 2023 &ndash\; is to \;generate interdisciplinary discussion on varieties or types of action (and agency) that are of \;interest to philosophers\, psychologists\, linguists\, and anthropologists\, among others. We \;encourage contributions that discuss the notion of action as it has been used in different domains.
