It is divided in three chapters. In the first chapter, it brings considerations about the term ?agency?, its origin and multiplicity of uses. It also exposes the term?s emergence on epistemology, and a brief historical characterization. Additionally, it sets epistemic deontologism on the ethics of belief discussion, constructing the emergence of doxastic epistemic agency, and it shows the problem of doxastic involuntarism and some responses to the problem. At the end, presents our proposal, with a skeptical conclusion. In the second chapter, it examines reflective agency, as well as presents virtue epistemology and performance metaphysics. It also defines epistemic agency throughout reflective performances and shows three critics and a proposal considering the critics, again concluding skeptically. In the third chapter, leaves normativity behind and approaches ameliorative epistemology. It makes an argumentative reconstruction of empirical research considerations diagnosing human actual cognitive capacities, and inquires possibilities of improving their systematic failures or cognitive biases. It concludes skeptically about the possibility of improvement relying on individuals and indicates the possibility of collective restrictions on individuals called epistemic paternalism. In addition, it presents social epistemology and epistemic paternalism, and finally, concludes indicating skepticism about individual epistemic agency, on one side, and the possibility of collective epistemic agency, on the other. === Esta disserta??o trata do termo ?ag?ncia epist?mica?, explorando diferentes concep??es e avaliando perspectivas sobre seu uso e sentido, e divide-se em tr?s cap?tulos. No primeiro cap?tulo, ela traz considera??es acerca do termo ?ag?ncia?, sua origem e multiplicidade de usos, bem como exp?e seu surgimento na epistemologia e uma breve caracteriza??o hist?rica. Para al?m, ela contextualiza o deontologismo epist?mico na discuss?o da ?tica da cren?a, caracterizando o surgimento da ag?ncia epist?mica dox?stica e apresenta o problema do involuntarismo dox?stico e respostas a ele. Ao final do cap?tulo, ela apresenta nossa avalia??o dessa proposta, concluindo-se ceticamente. No segundo cap?tulo, ela traz nosso exame da proposta de ag?ncia epist?mica reflexiva, bem como apresenta a epistemologia da virtude e a metaf?sica de desempenhos. Ainda, ela abrange a defini??o de ag?ncia epist?mica atrav?s de desempenhos reflexivos e traz tr?s cr?ticas e uma avalia??o da proposta que as segue, tamb?m conluindo ceticamente. No terceiro cap?tulo, ela abandona a normatividade e aborda a epistemologia melhorativa. Assim, faz uma reconstru??o argumentativa de considera??es de estudos emp?ricos, diagnosticando as capacidades cognitivas humanas atuais, e examina possibilidades de melhorar suas falhas sistem?ticas, ou vieses cognitivos. Ela conclui ceticamente sobre a possibilidade de aprimoramento a partir dos pr?prios indiv?duos e indica a possibilidade de restri??es coletivas aos indiv?duos, chamada de paternalismo epist?mico. Por fim, apresenta brevemente a epistemologia social e o paternalismo epist?mico, e conclui indicando ceticismo quanto ? ag?ncia epist?mica individual, por um lado, e a possibilidade de ag?ncia epist?mica coletiva, por outro.
