p.4-5 How do people come to construct their paths of action? Shotter regards intentionality as the key generative
mechanism here: 'intentionality is a fundamental and irreducible feature, a pre-supposition of all thought, all conceptual

and of the development and differentiation of their various essential forms.'
p.26 It is a characteristic of this discovery phase that various lines of argument will perhaps prove to
be transient; others will stand up to the various empirical tests to which they will be put and prove fruitful. The
winners in the race of ideas cannot be decided at this point
