Theory of intentionality

Summary

  • The theory of intentionality, as originally posited by Peter Abelard, holds that one's intention in committing an act is what can be ethically judged. He illustrates the theory in Abelard's Ethics through a story describing a man who, while camping, enters a tent and sleeps with a woman, believing that woman is his wife.
