330 .. $a Written against the background of her controversial opposition to the University of
Oxford's awarding of an honorary degree to Harry S. Truman, Elizabeth Anscombe's Intention
laid the groundwork she thought necessary for a proper ethical evaluation of actions
like the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The devoutly Catholic Anscombe thought
that these actions made Truman a murderer, and thus unworthy of the university's honor-but
that this verdict depended on an understanding of intentional action that had been
widely rejected in contemporary moral philosophy. Intention was her attempt to work
out that understanding and argue for its superiority over a conception of intention
as an inner mental state.0Though recognized universally as one of the definitive works
in analytic philosophy of action, Anscombe's book is often dismissed as unsystematic
or obscure, and usually read through the lens of philosophical concerns very far from
her own. Schwenkler's Guide offers a careful and critical presentation of Anscombe's
main lines of argument at a level appropriate to advanced undergraduates but also
capable of benefiting specialists in action theory, moral philosophy, and the history
of analytic philosophy. Further, it situates Intention in a context that emphasizes
Anscombe's debts to Aristotle, Aquinas, and Wittgenstein, and her engagement with
the work of contemporaries like Gilbert Ryle and R.M. Hare, inviting new avenues of
engagement with the ideas of historically important philosophers
