Abstract

This chapter investigates the relations between triadic causality and intentions, and is in its aim similar to Chap. 11 dealing with transformation types derived from dyadic causality. A semiotic analysis is made of the three basic stages of an action; experiencing, evaluating, and intervening in the world, which provides a link between the actor’s knowledge and functions of cognition.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The stages of an action should not be confused with the phases explained in Chap. 14. Stages and phases are two complementary aspects of actions involving cognitive functions.
