Agents - acting rationally
Daniel C. Dennett and "the intentional stance":
- "Physical stance" - we understand in terms of causality - billiard
balls
- "Design stance" - we understand what they are meant to do - alarm
clocks
- "Intentional stance" -
a rational agent will do what it believes is in its
interests
