Martin and fieifer (1986) have claimed “that the most typical characterizations of intentionality . . . all fail to distinguish . . . mental states from . . . dispositional physical states.” The evidence they present in support of this thesis is examined in the light of the possibility that what it shows is that intentionality is the mark, not of the mental, but of the dispositional. Of the fiv...

Abstract In this paper, I attempt to address a fundamental challenge for machine intelligence: understand whether and how machine’s internal states external outputs can exhibit original non-derivative intentionality. This question has three aspects. First, what does it take de dicto intentionality? Second, re Third, is required the defer objective world by respecting word-to-world direction of ...

I use the normative theory of intentional omissions to argue that ordinary uses of ‘ s intentionally’ are systematically ambiguous.

One can thus explain a number of puzzles that have been taken to be puzzles about the concept of intentional action: the Knobe effect, the connection ...

However, intentionality, one component of intention revision, has been explored in both narrative generation and logical formalisms. The IRIS system adopts the belief/desire/intention framework of intentionality from logical formalisms and combines it with preexist...

This article draws on the concepts of “counter-intentionality” and “saturated phenomena” developed by phenomenologists to analyse how performative processes can fail in organizations. To make our point, we investigate the case of new transparency requirements for European investment firms following the implementation of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) in 2007. Using an et...

In this paper I defend the importance of Daniel Dennett’s “intentional stance” for Philosophical Posthumanism vis-à-vis humanism. After first establishing role intentionality in humanism, move to a critique that from perspective both ontology and history scientific explanation. Rendering deeply problematic thereby acting support Posthumanism, argue may ultimately be too strong itself. This is b...

The contemporary discussion on the subjective character of conscious experience is characterized by a stark contrast between higher-order intentionalism, according to which any state awareness depends instantiation intentional properties mental states, and anti-intentionalism, inner constitutive fundamentally different from ordinary instances external or introspective awareness, in that one’s n...

Abstract Thomas Aquinas and Hervaeus Natalis (†1323) share a correlational theory of intentionality. When I cognize thing, am in real relation with the thing cognized at same time is reason me. coins term “intentionality” to designate precisely this reason. First second intentionality express two stages relation. refers that has mind, while indicates qua mind. Thus, first involves direct cognit...
