American philosopher who developed the planning theory of intention — intentions as future-directed plans that coordinate action over time — and has worked on shared intention and agency.
Intention, Plans, and Practical Reason: intentions are not merely strong desires but plan-states that organize future activity, constrain deliberation, and coordinate with other agents. Shared Cooperative Activity: shared intention is irreducible to individual intentions — it involves mutual responsiveness and support. Structures of Agency: essays on intention, agency, and the self.
