While most philosophers agree that intentional actions play an
important role in our ascriptions of responsibility, there is
disagreement concerning the precise nature of this role.
Unfortunately, there has traditionally been a dearth of empirical
data about ascriptions of intentional action. Lately, however,
researchers have begun filing in this empirical lacuna. In this
book, I discuss how this research sheds light on problems in action
theory, ethics, and legal philosophy. In doing so, I first set the
stage by discussing some of the problems traditionally associated
with the concept of intentional action before turning my attention
to recent research on the folk concept of intentional action.
Finally, I compare and contrast the folk concepts of intention and
intentional action with their legal counterparts. My goal is to
flesh out the extent to which these concepts diverge-a problem that
is particularly pressing given that in litigated cases involving
juries, jurors are often asked to judge whether the defendant acted
intentionally, purposely, and knowingly. This book is addressed to
philosophers and psychologists working at the intersection of folk
psychology and the law.
