Certain characters from a Dostoevsky novel and some ideas from psychoanalysis make an appearance as well.

Also since today is international men's day: if someone isn't aware of one's reasons—e.g., when they are based on misogyny—this doesn't mean that their action was not intentional. Cases like these were an important goal when writing that paper.

A recent example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=me1a...

I suggest we should take the latter option and I end by exploring a way in which Anscombe’s other core idea—that the practical syllogism is key for an action’s intentionality—can be reconciled with the phenomenon of uncertain action. 4/5

I argue that actions like these put Anscombean theories in front of a dilemma:
1️⃣ either they have to conclude (implausibly) that these actions are not intentional after all, or
2️⃣ they have to give up the claim that whenever an action is intentional the agent knows their reasons for so acting.
3/5

A paper forthcoming in *Synthese* argues that acting intentionally while being uncertain about one's reason is incompatible with classic views of practical knowledge. Think of a case like:
Did I congratulate you because you I truly think you deserved it or because I wanted to look good?

NVM just saw it

Is there new stuff on this out? i only know this journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

@dieworkwear.bsky.social was this you?

Oh i see, but they can‘t be integrated into the text I presume?

Footnotes by a mile!

Oh right! But there are other traditions in english where you do say „i do“, i believe

What‘s the „i do“ mistake again? I was taught that people don‘t actually say „i do“ but instead they say „yes“ but then it seemed that that‘s not actually correct…

still doesn‘t look fully repaired to me? Maybe they stopped the works too soon…

Jup that looks spot on, many thanks!

The same happened to me! It was a really annoying feature of icloud. Also, then there were these loops with other people who had out-of-office emails—one being a really intimidating professor

Got them! @jessiemunton.bsky.social
