Thomas Szanto: Bewusstsein, Intentionalität und mentale Repräsentation. Husserl und die analytische Philosophie des Geistes

Abstract

This is a review of Thomas Szanto's book. It concerns Szanto's analysis of intentionality and his views concerning the relation between intentionality, consciousness, and representation. Szanto is critical of a number of recent approaches, which he generally labels as ''analytical,'' and he maintains that Husserl has suggested a radically different approach. I examine and criticise Szanto's understanding of that approach.
