Intention [antikvár]

INTRODUCTION The greater part of what appears here was delivered as a course of lectures at Oxford in the Hilary Term of 19 5 7. Excerpts, with small modifications, comprising the discussion of the difference between ' motive ' intention ' and ' mental cause ' formed an Aristotelian Society paper delivered on June 3rd, 1957. I am indebted to the Society for permission for a substantial reprint of that matter. This book assembles the results, so far as concerns this particular topic, of research begun during my tenure of the Mary Somerville Research Fellowship at Somerville College. I wish therefore to express my gratitude to the Donors. More recently I have been supported by the Rockefeller Fovmda-tion, to which an acknowledgment is therefore also due. Note on the Second Impression I have made a few alterations ; the only ones of any significance are on pp. 29, 58, 59 and 61.
