This research paper: A 5 page paper discussing the salient points of a single article. In “Two Faces of Intention,” author Michael Bratman discusses from the philosophical perspective the connection between (1) intending to act and (2) acting with intention. Though this seems to be a matter of semantics and psychological process, philosophy takes a different view. Bratman (1984) explains that philosophically, having an intention to act commonly is accepted as being inextricably linked to also holding a belief, desire or both regarding the intended action. The author rejects the desire-belief model to arrive at his own. Ultimately, he gives humans credit for have the ability to operate on a plane that cannot be reduced merely to desires and beliefs. Bibliography lists 1 source.
