Bratman: Intent and Intention
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the salient points of a single article. In �Two Faces of Intention,� author Michael Bratman discusses from the philosophical perspective the connection between (1) intending to act and (2) acting with intention. Though this seems to be a matter of semantics and psychological process, philosophy takes a different view. Bratman (1984) explains that philosophically, having an intention to act commonly is accepted as being inextricably linked to also holding a belief, desire or both regarding the intended action. The author rejects the desire-belief model to arrive at his own. Ultimately, he gives humans credit for have the ability to operate on a plane that cannot be reduced merely to desires and beliefs.
