This paper contrasts two approaches to agentive self-awareness: a high- level, narrative-based account, and a low-level comparator-based account. We argue that an agent's narrative self-conception has a role to play in explaining their agentive judgments, but that agentive experiences are explained by low-level comparator mech- anisms that are grounded in the very machinery responsible for action-production.
