Talk:Intentionality
From Academic Kids
My psych professor claims that intentionality means different things depending on whether or not it is capitalized. I think he said "intentionality" meant aboutness, while "Intentionality" meant consciousness -- though it might be the other way around. Anyone else heard of this? Maybe this is particular to one or two authors. --Ryguasu
There seems to be a conflict in how the term is used by Americans and by continental philosophers. Georg Henrik von Wright, according to Vincent Descombes, makes a distinction between "intentionalist" and "causalist" philosophies of action, which would make intentionality a philosophy. Searle's intentionality is more of condition or trait of something. Shoehorn 09:15, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
v. Intension
Uhh, I'm pretty sure these pages are a bit mixed up. What is described as Intension here should be on the Intention page. As in Intentionality. At least that is my understanding from reading.. (Page 58 onwards) "Why Humans Have Cultures" by Michael Carrithers, 1992, Opus / Oxford Uni. Press.

- I don't think so. If you want to argue the point, can you be more specific? Banno 23:18, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)
