Abstract: In recent philosophy of action, it has become customary for philosophers to talk of actions "under a certain description". If on the road to Thebes Oedipus quarrels with a man and kills him, without knowing that the man is his father, then under the description "killing a man" Oedipus's action is intentional, but under the description "killing his father" his action is unintentional.
