Philosophers and psychologists have long been interested in deontic judgments of cases of double effect -- morally charged scenarios in which one action has two effects and only one of those effects is intended (eg: Foot, 1967; Greene, Sommerville, Nystrom, Darley & Cohen, 2001). Cases of double effect have been critical test-cases for the study of moral judgment, giving us insight into how our moral faculty functions. The Moral Grammar Hypothesis is one attempt to describe the cognitive mechanisms that underwrite our moral competence (Mikhail 2007, 2011). The Moral Grammar Hypothesis suggests that deontic judgments are the output of a modular system that runs a series of computations over highly structured, informationally rich mental representations. For this theory to be viable, a major question looms large: how do these structured, rich mental representations get formed from the impoverished stimuli available in the environment? For example, determining the intentional structure of the moral agent's mental state is critical to the Moral Grammar Hypothesis. Yet, mental state information is entirely absent from the kinds of stimuli that have been used to gather evidence in support of the theory, which are typically trolley-like cases of double effect. In fact, what has gone largely unnoticed in research on double effect scenarios is that two possible intention structures are equally compatible with the causal structure of the case. To solve this poverty-of-the-stimulus problem, we propose that subjects deploy a good intention prior, namely, if the action of an agent has two effects - one good and one bad - the agent intends the good effects of her action and does not intend the bad effects. We report two studies (one with adults, one with preschoolers aged three to five years old) that provide evidence for the use of this prior to disambiguate between intention structures in double-effect scenarios.

Two words sum up my summer in paradise-Evan Ashford. I have a life back home I must return to, though my heart battles this reality. What started as a carefree summer fling has become so much more. Evan has become so much more. He's become everything. Cupping his face, I stare into his deep blue eyes, wanting to lose myself once more... needing to know he feels this too. Although our connection won't stop the summer's end from rushing toward us or silence the demons Evan battles, I have faith our love can overcome the obstacles that will undoubtedly arise from us choosing to be together. I still worry... Will our good intentions be good enough? But I'm all in, willing to take the risk, knowing he can destroy my heart if I'm wrong. Like a riptide, I was forever changed by one woman-Mallory Wray. Our eyes meet and we spend a moment looking into the others', reading the fear and the love that mingles within. I move slowly down and kiss her forehead, her nose, her eyelids, her cheeks, and her chin before I kiss her lips again-soft and gentle, not rushed, but sensual. She smiles and I die inside knowing that I won't get to see her face every day. I've been spoiled by this sweet angel giving me all her days and nights. I possessively take hold of her wrists and like so many times before, the air stills as our connection intensifies. I can't help myself when it comes to her. I kiss her. Rain pours down harder and I wrap my arms around her, engulfing her body, her love, her soul.

The presumption of innocence is not only a bedrock principle of American law, but also a fundamental human right. The psychological underpinnings of this presumption, however, are not well understood. To make progress, one important task is to explain how adults and children infer the goals and intentional structure of complex actions, especially when a single action has more than one salient effect. Many theories of moral judgment have either ignored this intention inference problem or have simply assumed a particular solution without empirical support. We propose that this problem may be solved by appealing to domain-specific prior knowledge that is either built-up over the probability of prior intentions or built-in as part of core cognition. We further propose a specific solution to this problem in the moral domain: a good intention prior, which entails a rebuttable presumption that if an action has both good and bad effects, the actor intends the good effects and not the bad effects. Finally, in a series of novel experiments we provide the first empirical support - from both adults and preschool children - for the existence of this good intention prior.

River Thirteen years have passed since the war started, bombs fell, and the central states became a thing of the past. When the war ended, the government erected a wall to divide the surviving states from the destroyed ones. I never expected to leave my town, but unlike those who volunteered to go, I wasn’t given a choice. With a dim knowledge of my strange abilities, the soldiers came for me. They took me beyond the wall, where I learned the truth is far more terrifying than I imagined. Alone, with humans and demons eager to see what I can do, I find myself irresistibly drawn to the one man I should avoid most—a man who isn’t even really a man. Kobal I’ve spent my entire life with one mission… reclaim my throne from Lucifer and fix what the angels tore apart when they cast him from Heaven. Not even when the humans tore open the gates, and unleashed Hell on Earth, did I waver from my goal. I’ve never been closer to my throne, yet I find myself risking everything because I can’t stay away from her… the woman who might be the key to destroying Lucifer. *** Due to sexual content, violence, and language, this book is recommended for readers 18+ years of age.*** Keywords: Contemporary fantasy fiction secret heritage dystopian novels strong heroine angels and demons romance read and listen for less dystopian love story mystical creatures series apocalyptic fiction strong male lead folklore fiction mythical creatures enemies to lovers post apocalyptic romance books mythical creatures steamy romance supernatural romance twists strong heroine psychic power romance.

The chapters collected in this volume represent the "state-of-the-art" of research on the development of intentional action and intentional understanding--topics that are at the intersection of current research on imitation, early understanding of mental states, goal-directed behavior in nonhuman animals, executive function, language acquisition, and narrative understanding, to name just a few of the relevant foci. Collectively, the contributors demonstrate that intentionality is a key issue in the cognitive and social sciences. Moreover, in a way that was anticipated more than a century ago by the seminal work of J. Mark Baldwin, they are beginning to reveal how the control of action is related in development to children's emerging self-conscious and their increasingly sophisticated appreciation of other people's perspectives. This volume brings together the world's leading researchers on early social and cognitive development in an in-depth exploration of children's understanding of themselves and others.

"The Good Intentions of a Criminal Psychopath" chronicles the transformation of a previously incarcerated pimp/addict/robber into a law-abiding member of the Los Angeles community. After fifteen years of incarcerations in various state and federal prisons, at the age of 32 George "Tony" Newland became a full-time university researcher, book author, college student, sports car owner and enthusiast, good neighbor, tennis player, dog lover, and real estate investor. His dramatic reformation lasted five years, until he relapsed back into serious criminality. At the age of 42 he was found hanged in a California prison cell. In an effort to understand what happened, and how his chances in the community might have been improved, this book describes his psychopathic personality and behavior, his successes in the community, and his failure to sustain a law-abiding lifestyle.
