Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx. 65 Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Reasonably Vicious (Harvard University Press, 2002). 66 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Essays on Action and Events (Oxford: OUP, 1980). Essay 12, p232. Actions can be described truthfully in many ways, and each way will say something different about what is done, some of these might have moral implications, others will appear innocent. Both Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx take it to be possible for one action to fall under different descriptions, some of which are intentional and some are not. For an action to be intentional, there must be at least one description under which it is chosen/adopted by the agent. One and the same action or event might be described variously as ‘pouring liquid’, ‘making a drink’, ‘quenching the thirst of the victim’ and ‘administering poison’. However, there is an interesting tradition of contrasting Anscombe and Xxxxxxxx’x approach to action that I explore below67. Davidson and Anscombe are not normally contrasted, and Xxxxxxx cautions that the details of their disagreement are not clearly to be found in the authors’ primary sources, because she argues, they did not appreciate the depth of disagreement between them. However, it may turn out that their approach to agency and actions are “utterly different”68. Where Xxxxxxxx’x view of action is broadly that actions are events caused in the right kind of way by mental states (including beliefs, desires etc.), Xxxxxxxx presents a challenge to the standard view expressed by Xxxxxxxx along these lines: An action’s various properties (to which its various 67 See for example, Xxxxx Xxxxx, “Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx on `the Same Action’,” Mind 85: 251–57, doi:10.2307/2253123; Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, “Actions in Their Circumstances,” in Essays on Xxxxxxxx’s “Intention,” ed. A Ford, X Xxxxxxx, and F Stoutland (Cambridge, MA, 2011), 105– 27. 68 Xxxxxxx, “Actions in Their Circumstances.” p105. descriptions are owed) “do not have their source in the workings of event– causality, but in the means/end structure of pieces of practical reasoning.”69 Xxxxxxxx’s striking denial that actions are intentional in virtue of some “extra feature” that distinguishes them from unintentional actions or mere events, is aimed at positions like Davidson’s where I have acted if my desire (that I have ice-cream) motivates and causes a change in the world. The alternative Anscombian view is “to call [an action] intentional is to assign it to the class of intentional actions and so to indicate that we should consider the qu...

Tanks may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Matrix, GSAC and Xxxxx delivered at any time following June 24, 1999 and prior to the Closing, in the event any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 have not been satisfied for any reason on or prior to that date (other than any failure of such condition(s) to be so satisfied by reason of a breach by Xxxxxxxx or Xxxxxxxx Tanks of any of their covenants set forth in this Agreement), or have not been waived by Xxxxxxxx or Xxxxxxxx Tanks on or prior to that date.

Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx. We note with interest the recent filing of proxy statements by Designs, Inc. and Jewelcor Management, Inc., respectively, in connection with the 1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Designs currently scheduled for September 22, 1999. Designs is very important to Levi Xxxxxxx & Co., both as a large customer and as its licensee under a trademark license agreement to operate Levi's(R) and Dockers(R) outlet stores in more than 25 states. Due to this relationship, as well as the significance of the License Agreement to Designs(1), we thought that some comment from LS&CO. regarding certain of the statements in the proxy filings might help to inform the coming months for you and Designs' shareholders. First, LS&CO. does not agree with the Jewelcor proxy's assertion that the proposed election of JMI Nominees "is not a transfer of control and will not cause a concern under the License Agreement with Xxxx Xxxxxxx." To the contrary, and as Jewelcor's proxy materials go on to contemplate, LS&CO.'s view is that displacement of Designs' current Board by the JMI Nominees would fall within the License Agreement's provisions prohibiting transfers. That is, Designs would need LS&CO.'s consent for the License Agreement to continue in effect if and after the JMI Nominees displace the current Designs directors.
