Opis

G. E. M. Anscombe s Intention is a classic of twentieth-century philosophy. The work has been enormously influential despite being a dense and largely misunderstood text. It is a standard reference point for anyone engaging with philosophy of action and philosophy of psychology. In this Routledge Philosophy GuideBook, Rachael Wiseman:

• situates Intention in relation to Anscombe s moral philosophy and philosophy of mind
• considers the influence of Aquinas, Aristotle, Frege, and Wittgenstein on the method and content of Intention
• adopts a structure for assessing the text that shows how Anscombe unifies the three aspects of the concept of intention
• considers the influence and implications of the piece whilst distinguishing it from subsequent work in the philosophy of action

Ideal for anyone wanting to understand and gain a perspective on Elizabeth Anscombe s seminal work, this guide is an essential introduction, useful in the study of the philosophy of action, ethics, philosophy of psychology and related areas."
