This chapter discusses the responses and actions, intention and future-directed thought, causal explanations of action, the grammar of intention, commitment, willing versus trying, persons as sources of active human conduct and contexts of action. Wittgenstein's examination of the polysemous meaning of concepts having to do with the explanation of action leads to a blunt rejection of the causal account. The phrase 'an intention' must be used warily, since nouns suggest entities, and, in this case, there are no such entities. Imagine waking one autumn morning, surprised at how cold bedroom has become overnight. The basic idea is that in constructing a psychology of willing-as-action people will probably be prone to identify a psychological instrument with which action is brought about. Wittgenstein was well aware of the stubborn insistence that the will is some kind of ghostly hand at the helm of human voluntary action.
