I WOULD like any comments, interpretations, critiques, etc. on the general content of Scary Dave's work directly on this thread. <snip> please feel free to share them publicly by replying to this thread.
Thanks, -Mo

Hey Mo, I got into Dave's rants thx. Thought this little note of rigor might help in keeping us centred. Morality is the consequence of intention so the true nature of the intention needs to be understood, something Dave didn't touch on directly, or I didn't get. He did point out that religion had goals other then enstilling morality and that was control, but this is true of any controlling organization madated or otherwise in power, so again the which form of intention might be a way of differenciating between them.

Cheers

Fritz


Elizabeth Anscombe

Her most important work is indisputably the monograph Intention (1957). Three volumes of collected papers were published in 1981: From Parmenides to Wittgenstein; Metaphysics and the Philosophy of Mind; and Ethics, Religion and Politics. Another collection, "Human Life, Action and Ethics" appeared posthumously in 2005.

The aim of Intention (1957) was to make plain the character of human action and will. Anscombe approaches the matter through the concept of intention, which, as she famously notes, has three modes of appearance in our language:

She is X'ing intentionally    intentional action
She is X'ing with the intention of doing Y
or ... She is X'ing in order to Y    intention with which
or further intention in acting
She intends to Y
or... She has expressed the intention to do Y    expression of intention for the future;
(what Davidson later called a pure intending)


She suggests that a true account must somehow connect these three uses of the concept, though later students of intention have sometimes denied this, and disputed some of the things she presupposes under the first and third headings. It is clear though that it is the second that is crucial to her main purpose, which is to comprehend the way in which human thought and understanding and conceptualization relate to the "events in a man's history", or the goings on of which he is subject.
