20. Action / B. Preliminaries of Action / 1. Intention to Act / b. Types of intention

20074	We can keep Davidson's account of intentions in action, by further explaining prior intentions [Davidson, by Stout,R]
	Full Idea: Davidson's original account of intentions might still stand if we could accept that prior intentions are different in kind from intentions with which one acts.
	From: report of Donald Davidson (Problems in the Explanation of Action [1987]) by Rowland Stout - Action 8 'Davidson's'
	A reaction: Davidson says prior intention is all-out judgement of desirability. Prior intentions are more deliberate, with the other intentions as a presumed background to action. Compare Sartre's dual account of the self.
