Using the example of someone who never builds a squirrel house, Davidson introduced the "pure" form of this concept, countering his earlier analysis of it.
Using the example of someone who never builds a squirrel house, Davidson introduced the "pure" form of this concept, countering his earlier analysis of it. In a counterexample to theories explaining this concept by its causal effects, a climber releases another climber due to nervousness, forming a deviant causal chain. In Grice's theory of meaning, the speaker must have this concept with respect to the hearer recognizing a prior instance of this concept. In an example identifying the actions of turning on a light and alerting a prowler, Davidson noted whether an action has this property may change with description, and then analyzed this concept as a way to describe actions in terms of their reasons. This concept "in action" is one of three uses of it distinguished at the beginning of a namesake text by Anscombe. For 10 points, name this property of actions that are planned.
