Intentionality

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Here, I build up a reading of the phenomenological concept of intentionality, using my own examples. The chapter aims to introduce a non-phenomenological reader to the concept of intentionality, while at the same time casting light on the problem of limiting our methodologies to the analysis of linguistic reference. It is shown that reference and intentionality are clearly different functions of consciousness. In the discussion of reference, I discuss Ruth Barcan Marcus’ work on intensional languages, as an example of the limitations of referential approaches.
