摘要
It is often assumed that, while ordinary actions are events, negative actions' (omissions, refrainments, etc.) are absences of events. I claim that a negative action is an ordinary, positive' event that plays a certain role. I argue that my approach can answer standard objections to the identity of negative actions and positive events.
