AbstractThis paper introduces and argues for contrastivism about intentions. According to contrastivism, intention is not a binary relation between an agent and an action. Rather, it is a ternary relation between an agent, an action, and an alternative.

Intentional Binding Without Intentional Action [PDF]
The experience of authorship over one’s actions and their consequences—sense of agency—is a fundamental aspect of conscious experience. In recent years, it has become common to use intentional binding as an implicit measure of the sense of agency.

Shared intention and personal intentions [PDF]
This article explores the question: what is it for two or more people to intend to do something in the future? In a technical phrase, what is it for people to share an intention? Extending and refining earlier work of the author’s, it argues for three criteria of adequacy for an account of shared intention (the disjunction, concurrence, and obligation ...

Refinement of Intentions [PDF]
According to Bratman, future-directed intentions are high-level plans. We view such plans as high-level actions that can typically not be executed directly: they have to be progressively refined until executable basic actions are obtained. Higher- and lower-level actions are linked by the means-end relation, alias instrumentality relation.

Intention-based reciprocity and signaling of intentions [PDF]
Many experiments find that trust intentions are a key determinant of prosociality. If intentions matter, then prosociality should depend on whether trust intentions can be credibly conveyed. This conjecture is formalized and tested in a noisy trust game where I vary the extent to which trust can be credibly signaled.

Mechanism design and intentions [PDF]
We introduce intention-based social preferences into a mechanism design framework with independent private values and quasilinear payoffs. For the case where the designer has no information about the intensity of social preferences, we provide conditions under which mechanisms which have been designed under the assumption that agents are selfish can ...

Voluntariness and Intention [PDF]
I am very grateful to the editors of Jurisprudence for proposing this symposium, and to Maria Alvarez, Erasmus Mayr, Dennis Patterson and Assaf Sharon for taking the time and trouble to write about Action, Knowledge, and Will. I have not been able to address every argument they present, and every question they raise, because of the limitations of space,
