<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>My answer would be that there was something I was
trying to do, so to that extent I had an idea of what I was trying to do; and if
I succeeded in doing it, then the action exemplified that idea. And this is so whether
or not I can articulate that idea. I agree that Davidson would probably regard
this response as unwelcome, since he does not like intensions, so I acknowledge
that you may indeed have raised a problem for Davidson (I would have to check
his writings to be sure). But the problem for Davidson is not necessarily a
problem for one who follows the principles of his analysis but substitutes
ideas for descriptions.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
