INTENTION IN ACTION - PATHIARAJ RAYAPPAN KARTON...

G. E. M. Anscombe was one of the important philosophers of the twentieth century. Her most
famous works are Intention and Modern Moral Philosophy and have given origin to the new branch
called Philosophy of Action and have been an impetus for the revival of Virtue Ethics. This
book studies G. E. M. Anscombe's evaluation of moral theories and moral actions based on her
findings in Philosophical Psychology. The author argues that a moral evaluation solely from the
point of view of intention is insufficient and looks for a way in which this insufficiency can
be overcome. Taking inspiration from Martin Rhonheimer  he finds a way to overcome this
insufficiency through concepts such as the moral object  the anthropological truth of man and
the practical reason  which are other essential elements to be considered in moral evaluation
in addition to intention.
