ABSTRACT
T his quote from Castañeda’s discussion of intentions refers to the fundamen-tal relationship between intentions and memory. When an individual has an intent, he or she has selected a particular path of action, and when that intent has a particular relationship to the past it has a special status: It is an intention. This current discussion of the relationship between memory and delayed intentions begins by dening intentions, drawing heavily on action theory to do so. The denition process includes the clarication of such terms as immediate and delayed intentions, as well as distinguishing intentions from intents.
