Goals, No Goals and Own Goals: Debate on Goal-directed and Intentional Behaviour

ISBN 10: 0044453418 ISBN 13: 9780044453413

Publisher: Routledge, 1989

This volume, which includes essays by scientists and philosophers, is intended to provide an interdisciplinary approach to some of the many intertangled problems connected with the identification, characterization, understanding and explanation of goal-directed and intentional behaviour. The main aim of the contributors has been to forward discussion of the matters of their common concern, each with colleagues of other disciplines than his or her own, and the real interest of the debates lies in how each reacts to the other, and the directions in which the subject is taken when philosophers and scientists of different convictions and experience discuss seriously together.
