If you folk really want to head down this rabbit hole, read some Brentano and Husserl. I keep wanting to jump in here, but the starting point would have to be a proper definition of "intention" since the way it's being used here seems to be quite fluid, imprecise and inconsistent. Then my eyes glass over and I remind myself "I did my time, I did my time" (No, wait, that was Heidegger, damnit!) and move on.

Seriously, Husserl is fun.
Hello Keith,

Have you read G E M Anscombe's book on the subject? It was first published in 1957 and is still relevant. I like to lend it to my cognitive linguistics colleagues at university.

Best wishes,

P A Goldsbury
