Amir Horowitz

Intentionality Deconstructed

An Anti-Realist Theory

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Intentionality Deconstructed argues for the view that no concrete entity - mental, linguistic, or any other - can possess intentional content. Nothing can be about anything. The concept of intentionality is flawed, and so content ascriptions cannot be "absolutely" true or false - they lack truth conditions.
