I argue for a novel understanding of the nature of agent-regret. On the standard picture, agent-regret involves regretting the result of one's action and thus regretting one's action. I argue that the standard picture is a flawed analysis of agent-regret. I offer several cases of agent-regret where the agent feels agent-regret but does not regret the result itself. I appeal to other cases where an agent's attitude towards something depends upon whether or not they are involved in that thing. I argue that the same applies to actions: sometimes an agent's attitude towards a result differs from their attitude to their involvement in bringing about that result. Agent-regret is regret about my own action, but it need not involve regret about something in the world. I end by considering how this picture of agent-regret allows us to respond to a particular criticism of agent-regret.

代理遗憾的纯度

我主张对代理后悔的性质有一个新的理解。在标准情况下，代理后悔包括对自己行为的结果感到后悔，并且因此后悔自己的行为。我认为标准图片是对代理后悔的有缺陷的分析。我提供了几个代理后悔的案例，代理感到后悔，但并不后悔结果本身。我呼吁代理人对某事的态度取决于他们是否参与该事的其他情况。我认为这同样适用于行动：有时代理人对结果的态度不同于他们对参与导致该结果的态度。代理遗憾是对我自己的行为的遗憾，但它不必涉及对世界上某事的遗憾。最后，我考虑了这张代理遗憾的图片如何使我们能够回应对代理遗憾的特定批评。
