The intentions of intentionality

Jaakko Hintikka

pp. 79-109

The contrast flaunted in the title of this colloquium, "Explanation and Understanding",1 is predicated on an important assumption. This assumption is best known as Brentano's thesis. It says, roughly, that there is an irreducible conceptual difference between two kinds of phenomena which I shall refer to as intentional and nonintentional phenomena. The non- intentional or physical phenomena are subject to explanation, the intentional ones to understanding.
