ENG- In the articles that form the core of this thesis, the defense of a central idea regarding practical knowledge and the contents of intention justify the critical revision of certain widespread assumptions in the field of action theory. Although the idea that practical knowledge is non-observational is not new, this work does present original arguments which try to show that the scope of such knowledge extends beyond what is normally accepted. The additional thesis that the content of practical knowledge must be closely linked to the content of intention also serves, in an original way, to justify the conclusion that the content of our intentions, including so-called "pure" intentions, refers to particular acts, the details of which are unknown to the agent. The derivations of this thesis help clarify and evaluate ongoing controversies in contemporary philosophy concerning the metaphysics of intentional action
