in: Radu Bogdan (ed), Roderick M. Chisholm, Berlin, Springer, 1986Abstract
To assess the significance of a philosophical contribution to some area of inquiry is, in many instances, not really feasible without the advantage of a century or so of hindsight. A lot may depend on what uses will be made of this contribution by the next generation. I personally believe that Chisholm's work on the theory of action will continue to have a strong influence on the next generation of philosophy.
