title = "We-intentions and immunity to error through misidentification",
abstract = "When I intend to J, I may be wrong about what I intend but not about who intendsit. In this sense, action intentions appear immune to error. A standard explanationof this immunity is that the subject of the intention is not represented in the contentof the intention in the first place. When I think that we intend to J, it seems obviousthat I can misjudge who {\textquoteleft}we{\textquoteright} are. This may seem to indicate that the {\textquoteleft}we{\textquoteright} must berepresented in the content of the intention. This argument from misidentification isan objection against purely perspectival accounts of the distinction between I- andwe-intentions. However, in several relevant respects we-intentions and I-intentionsare on a par in relation to errors in identification, and the argument from misiden-tification against the perspectival account of the distinction backfires.",
