This book  investigates intentionality from the point of view of intentional  objects. According to the classical approach to this concept, whatever  can be consciously experienced is regarded as an intentional object.  Thus, not only ordinary existing individuals but also various kinds of  non-existents and non-individuals are considered as intentional  (including such bizarre entities as quantifier objects: `some dog',  `every dog'). \u003cbr\u003e  Alexius Meinong, an Austrian philosopher, is particularly well-known  as the `inventor' of an abundant ontology of objects among which even  incomplete and impossible ones, like `the round square', find their  place. Drawing inspirations from Meinong's ideas, the author develops  a simple logic of intentional objects, \u003cem\u003eM\u003c\/em\u003e-logic. \u003cem\u003eM\u003c\/em\u003e-logic  closely resembles classical first-order logic and, as opposed to the  formally complicated contemporary theories of non-existent objects, it  is much more friendly in apprehending and applications. However,  despite this resemblance, the ontological content of \u003cem\u003eM\u003c\/em\u003e-logic far  exceeds that of classical logic. In this book formal investigations  are intertwined with philosophical analyses. On the one hand,  \u003cem\u003eM\u003c\/em\u003e-logic is used as a tool for investigating formal features of  intentional objects. On the other hand, the study of intentionality  phenomena suggests further  ways of extending and modifying  \u003cem\u003eM\u003c\/em\u003e-logic. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e The book is addressed to logicians, cognitive  scientists, philosophers of language and metaphysics with either a  phenomenological or an analytic background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010-12-08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9789048149681\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45416686092428,"sku":"9789048149681","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048149681_e19fce78-e6a9-48e3-9838-1b891c9f69cc.jpg?v=1768917920","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048149681","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
