Social interaction requires social cognition--the ability to perceive,                  interpret, and explain the actions of others. This ability fundamentally relies on                  the concepts of intention and intentionality. For example, people distinguish                  sharply between intentional and unintentional behavior; identify the intentions                  underlying others' behavior; explain completed actions with reference to intentions,                  beliefs, and desires; and evaluate the social worth of actions using the concepts of                  intentionality and responsibility.Intentions and Intentionality highlights the roles                  these concepts play in social cognition. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it                  offers cutting-edge work from researchers in cognitive, developmental, and social                  psychology and in philosophy, primatology, and law. It includes both conceptual and                  empirical contributions.
