| Abstract: | I will suggest that we have good reason to take actions as psychologically basic: attempts to construe actions as composites of intentions, tryings and bodily movements face problems. Moreover there are positive arguments for thinking that actions play as basic role in our psychological explanations as the phenomena that have been offered in reductive explanations. I will also argue the task of understanding intentions is not prior to the task of understanding actions. |
