Intentions Are Plans Plus Wishes
Roberto Zamparelli · 1993
Cohen and Levesque ([CoL90a], [CoL90b]) propose logic of "rational actions " and give a possible-worlds model interpretation to the propositional attitudes of belief and goals, defining from these the notion of in-tention. In this paper, I will discuss various problems with this accont and propose augmenting their logic with modality, two predicates expressing the notions of "interest " (WISH) and "commitment to an action" (COMMITMENT), and a weak version of "plan"(D-PLAN). The representation of "intentions " will be based upon a general theory of the relation between beliefs, desires and intentions.
