Produktbeschreibung

G. E. M. Anscombe's Intention is a classic of twentieth-century philosophy. The work has achieved notoriety despite being a dense text and is a standard reference point for anyone engaging with philosophy of action and philosophy of psychology.

This guidebook situates Anscombe and Intention in their historical context and considers the influence and implications of the piece whilst distinguishing it from subsequent work in the philosophy of action. It is an essential introduction for anyone wanting to understand and gain a perspective on Anscombe's seminal work; useful in the study of the philosophy of action, philosophy of psychology and related areas.

Rezensionen

'This book is clearly, beautifully, and thoroughly organized. The content is exciting and offers a thoughtful and compelling reading of Anscombe's Intention.'
Candace Vogler, University of Chicago, USA

'This superb Guidebook is an essential companion for anyone trying to understand Anscombe's brilliant but somewhat elusive book. It enables the reader to see the unity in what can seem a rather disparate work, in ways that students and professional philosophers alike will find eye opening.'
Adrian Haddock, University of Stirling, UK
