Michael E. Bratman
Bratman develops a planning theory of intention. Intentions are treated as elements of partial plans of action. These plans play basic roles in practical reasoning, roles that support the organization of our activities over time and socially. Bratman explores the impact of this approach on a wide range of issues, including the relation between intention and intentional action, and the distinction between intended and expected effects of what one intends.
Michael E. Bratman is Howard H. and Jessie T. Watckins University Professor of Philosophy at Stanford University.
