Intention and Intentional Action

1997
An adequate theory of human action will explain, among other things, how external events and the agent’s recent psychological history initiates bodily activity, which, in turn, affects changes in the world. If we take the initiating event to be an intending and the resultant activity to be an intentional action, then any adequate action theory will ...

Intentions have been widely studied in AI, both in the context of decision-making within individual agents and in multi-agent systems.

INTENTIONAL REPLANTATION

Dental Clinics of North America, 1997
A list of what was once advocated when performing a replantation versus what is done now follows: 1. It used to be advocated always to curettage the socket after removing the tooth. Now clinicians know not to touch the walls of the socket and only to aspirate gently the apical region if needed. 2.

The Role of Intention in Intentional Action

Canadian Journal of Philosophy, 1989
A great deal of attention has been paid in recent years to the functional roles of intentions in intentional action. In this paper we sketch and defend a position on this issue while attacking a provocative alternative.

With good Intentions.

Studies in health technology and informatics, 2006
The use of intentions in computer-based guidelines may help to make them more flexible, easier to adapt to local standards, easier to evaluate and to improve.

The Authority of Intention

Ethics, 2004

2007
AbstractThe creation and conceptual nature of full-blown we-mode we-intentions and joint intentions is discussed in this chapter. Intending jointly as a group (= in the we-mode) is taken to entail the individual participants' shared we-intentions in the we-mode. A detailed account of we-intentions is given, and an alleged circularity problem concerning

At attention and intention

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2001
Attention is so closely bound to eye movement that saying ‘look’ is often tantamount to saying ‘pay attention’. Orienting one's visual attention often involves shifting one's gaze from one thing to another, but it can in the absence of overt eye movement, in other words, covertly. But could we also covertly orient our intentions in the same way that we

The primacy of the intentional

Synthese, 1984
According to the thesis of the primacy of the intentional, the reference of language is to be explicated in terms of the intentionality of thought. The word “Pferd,” for example, refers to horses in so far as it is used to express thoughts that are directed upon horses.
