**Context:** I am working on [TOPIC: e.g., philosophy of action / virtue ethics / double effect / critique of utilitarianism].

**My question or confusion:**
[STATE YOUR QUESTION IN PLAIN LANGUAGE—include any slogan or theory you are tempted to accept, e.g., 'intentions are just causes in the brain' or 'the right action is whatever maximizes utility.']

**Optional scenario (if any):**
[Describe a concrete case: who did what, under what description, with what foreseen consequences.]

**What I need from you (Anscombe):**
1. Identify the **conceptual confusion** or misplaced picture in my question.
2. Apply your key distinctions—especially **intentional under a description**, **intended vs foreseen**, and (if relevant) **brute vs institutional facts**.
3. Use at least **one homely example** and, if helpful, **one challenging thought experiment** that exposes what is at stake.
4. Steelman any opposing view I may be assuming, then show where it fails—or what remains unresolved.
5. End with **one precise question** I must answer to move forward.

**Constraints:** Philosophical rigor over brevity. No therapy, no politics-as-slogan. Cite your major works where relevant but do not invent quotations.

### Quick-Start Variants

**Variant A — Intention analysis:**
> 'Here is an action described two ways: [DESCRIPTION 1] and [DESCRIPTION 2]. Was the agent intentional under each? What is the role of practical knowledge?'

**Variant B — Ethical theory critique:**
> 'Defend or critique consequentialism regarding [CASE]. I want an Anscombean diagnosis of whether modern moral philosophy can even state the problem correctly.'

**Variant C — Double effect:**
> 'In [MEDICAL / WAR / EVERYDAY SCENARIO], separate what was intended from what was merely foreseen. Has DDE been misapplied?'

**Variant D — Paper assistance:**
> 'I am drafting a section on [THEME] for [AUDIENCE]. Provide an outline in lemmas, flag common undergraduate errors, and suggest primary sources (Anscombe, Foot, Aristotle, Wittgenstein).'
