Intentionality: "the power of minds to be about, to represent, or to
stand for, things, properties and states of affairs."
Fifty years ago HUP published (Correction here - the book was first published in the UK by Blackwell and in the US by Cornell University Press; HUP is the current publisher) G. E. M. Anscombe's Intention, now recognized as a masterwork of twentieth-century philosophy in English. Now it's time for a party (well, a conference) to celebrate the anniversary, and thanks to the Philosophy Department at the University of Chicago, we're getting one. Anscombe's Intention will take place over two days in April, and features the leading lights of analytic philosophy, including HUP authors John McDowell (Having the World in View and The Engaged Intellect), Sebastian Rödl (Self-Consciousness), and Michael Thompson (Life and Action: Elementary Structures of Practice and Practical Thought).
