Description
Exploring the concept of intentionality, this book examines various approaches to understanding how minds relate to the world around them.
William Lyons surveys five prominent philosophical theories of intentionality, including instrumentalism, linguistic theory, biological approaches, information-processing and functional role perspectives. He then presents a new multi-level approach that draws on neurophysiology and psychology.
A valuable resource for students and scholars of philosophy of mind and cognitive science, this book offers a comprehensive overview of contemporary debate on intentionality, along with an original new theory to consider.
