This is an emerging idea in philosophy and references have been provided to two world renowned philosophers who developed the idea. I request that this article be sent to philosophy specialists for review and judgement. I have also linked the entry to two other relevant entries that should help to provide context and scholarly credibiltity. I am a Ph.D student in philosophy and psychology and consider myself suitably qualified to write this entry

I respect the thoughts of the reviewer and request one week to redevelop the article.
1) "Acting Under a Description" was G.E.M. Amscombe's most influential idea. One reason for adding this article was because it was missing from the Anscombe article. 2) "Acting Under a Description" has been developed over the last half century by a number of philosophers and is a key strand in the philosophy of intention (see your own article or any other article on intention). Philosophy of Intention is a separate field. 3) The explication of Hacking's work includes one example (the playground) that is not from Hacking. Providing illustrative examples is not uncommon in wikipedia. Nonetheless, I can use an example from Hacking if preferred. Other than that, there is no synthesis. 4) The article probably needs expanding to explicate the roots in Foucault as well as Anscombe.
I will work on it and appreciate any comments that make it more appropriate to the Wikipedia format. I do not write many articles for Wikipedia, but this is an article that should be available. 96.49.160.240 ( talk) 15:00, 19 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Thank you. I will work on the article and seek help from others as well. Amerywu ( talk) 18:52, 20 March 2010 (UTC) reply
