This book examines the paradox of intention, the simple idea that
we may reach a goal by giving up the attempt to reach it or,
conversely, that we may be prevented from reaching a goal by our
intentional efforts to achieve it. The nature of this paradox is
explored through an examination of texts from ancient and
existential philosophy, psychotherapy, and the sacred texts of
Buddhism, Christianity, and Taoism. Shaw then subjects the paradox
to systematic study by pursuing a series of questions arising from
it.
A clearly written and accessible study, The Paradox of Intention
adds an intriguing chapter to both comparative ethics and the
cross-cultural study of the philosophy of religion.
