Intention

by Anscombe, G. E. M.

"Intention is one of the masterworks of twentieth-century philosophy in English. First published in 1957, it has acquired the state of a modern philophical classic. The book attempts to show to detail that the natural and widely accepted picture of what we mean by an intention gives rise to insoluble problems and must be abandoned. This is a welcome reprint of a book that continues to grow in importance."--BOOK JACKET.
