Intention is one of the masterworks of twentieth-century philosophy in English. First published in 1957, it has acquired the status of a modern philosophical classic. The book attempts to show in 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.

Reviews for Intention

What Anscombe has done is to cut through a whole mess of philosophical clich?s, and to give us a fresh, detailed picture of the concept of an action, and of related notions such as that of a reason for acting--and this in a way which brings out clearly the sources of a host of philosophical muddles in which one can find oneself in dealing with these concepts. To have done that is to have made a significant contribution to philosophy.--Judith Jarvis Thomson Journal of Philosophy
