World in Perspective
Meaning and Intentionality
Introduction
This book aims to reclaim the significance of meaning within the philosophical thinking that has evolved from Descartes and Locke through Kant, Husserl, and Frege, focusing on intentionality-the mind's directedness toward the reality.
Epistemological Account
The author opens with an epistemological account of analyticity and illustrates the central role of intentionality within it.
Transcendentalist View
A transcendentalist view on intentionality is then adopted, in contrast with the prevalent naturalist stance.
Key Themes in Philosophy of Language
Addressing key themes in the philosophy of language-truth, representation, propositions, predication, reference, and sense- the book presents a framework for a meaning-intentionality theory, which integrates key insights from Frege, Husserl, Wittgenstein, Dummett, and Davidson.
Intended Audience
The book will appeal to scholars and graduate students of epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, theory of meaning, and theory of intentionality.
