Abstract
This paper proposes a model of intention with conditional/ unconditional commitments based on Cohen and Levesque’s (C&L’s for short) framework of intention. We first examine C&L’s framework with a well-known philosophical puzzle, the Toxin Puzzle, and point out its insufficiency in modelling conditional and unconditional commitments. We then propose a model theory of a specific modal logic with modalities representing the typical mental attributes as well as action feasibility and realisibility. Instead of defining intention as a persistent goal, we define an intention as a conditional/unconditional commitment made for achieving a goal that is believed to be achievable. Finally we check our framework with the Toxin Puzzle and show our solution to the puzzle.KeywordsModal LogicAccessibility RelationDynamic LogicComputation SequencePrimitive ActionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
