Anscombe’s Intention: A Guide (Oxford, 2019)
“… a remarkable achievement, worthy of widespread attention." — Jennifer Frey, University of South Carolina
"This is the kind of guide that I will look to in my own work, and that I will recommend to interested graduate students, and that I am likely to use every time I teach a course with Intention.” — Kim Frost, University of California, Riverside “I expect Schwenkler's book to serve as an essential resource for a new generation of readers.” — Berislav Marusic, University of Edinburgh “This meticulous, accessible book will be of great use to students of action theory and readers of Anscombe.” — Kieran Setiya, MIT |
