Arthur C. Danto on Intentionality - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto I 285 Intentionality/Danto: logical truths: 1. Intentionality applies only to representations, to things that can be true or false 2. Intentionality is applied to material objects, ink, characters, etc., or even nervous states But only because the spiritual is representative in the first instance and material in the second. Danto I 292 Intentionality/Danto: For example, indistinct objects can be confused. Solution: A system of representations that support or refute each other. Perception: is already interpretation. I 292 Intentionality: E.g. from a certain distance we cannot accurately detect an object. In fact, intentionality is partly possible due to this: there is a representation that is not caused by what it is. >Representation, >Image, >Picture, >Presentation This is because it is linked to a system of representations that makes you feel it was that object. >Appearance, >World/thinking, >Experience, cf.>W. Sellars._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number. The corresponding books are indicated on the right hand side.
