Long a foundational concept in\u003cbr\u003ePhenomenology, it has also received considerable coverage in the writings of\u003cbr\u003eanalytic philosophers. This book is the first study to offer an impartial,\u003cbr\u003ewell-informed assessment of the two traditions' approaches through an in-depth\u003cbr\u003einvestigation of the principal thinkers' ideas, so that their positions emerge\u003cbr\u003eside-by-side, converging and diverging on certain shared themes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with a historical discussion of the\u003cbr\u003edevelopment of the term in the work of Continental thinkers in the 19th\u003cbr\u003eand early 20th centuries, the book considers the work\u003cbr\u003eof Brentano and Husserl and subsequent existentialist critiques. From\u003cbr\u003ethere, it explores how empirical-analytic philosophers took up the topic, drawn\u003cbr\u003eas they were to materialist and computer models of the mind. Finally MacDonald presents\u003cbr\u003ea new 'hybrid' account of intentionality that will be a crucial work for\u003cbr\u003escholars working on consciousness and the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul\u003cbr\u003eS.
