Abstract

Abstract: On the strict view of intention, one intends only what is included in the plan of action or proposal adopted by choice. According to broader views of intention what one intends includes that plus some known features of the selected physical action that are not included in the proposal adopted by choice. I defend the strict view of intention, reply to important recent objections to it from Steven Jensen, Alexander Pruss and Luke Gormally, and examine concrete applications in light of those different views of intention.
