Definite, or de re, intention in a husserlian framework

David Woodruff SmithDavid L SmithRonald McIntyre

pp. 354-405

Abstract

We have seen that a Husserlian theory of intentionality can be developed considerably beyond the basic Frege-like approach we discussed in Chapters III and IV. Our goal now is to apply the developed theory of definite, or de re, intentions. We first elaborate on the characterization of definiteness, which we have heretofore defined largely by example, and we distinguish more sharply perceptually definite from individuatively definite acts. We then develop analyses of the phenomenological structures that achieve, respectively, perceptual and individuative definiteness of intention.
