520 |a The paper analyzes the concept of a first cause, both for event causation and for agent causation. It turns out that one is rather ready to believe in the existence of first causes that are events, but not in the existence of first causes that are agents.

Finally, the notion of a first agent-cause is employed for an analysis of freely willed human action.
