II 184 Phenomenology/Hintikka: one can say that phenomenology is actually a study of meanings and significance. Meaning/Husserl/Hintikka: thesis: all meaning is ultimately expressed as linguistic meaning. Def Meaning/Hintikka: meaning is the function of possible worlds on extensions. Worlds: worlds are the arguments of functions that are meanings. Intentionality/Hintikka: if intentionality is to be defined by the necessity of explaining it through possible worlds, we must examine possible counterexamples._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
