| Description: | "Sachs has written a perceptive and well-argued book about a set of verychallenging authors. If one wishes to understand the deepest issues that threadcurrent neo-pragmatist thought, one could do no better than to pick up Sachs’book." -Steven Levine, The Philosophical Quarterly Intentionality is one of the central problems of modern philosophy. How can a thought, action or belief be about something? Sachs draws on the work of Wilfrid Sellars, C I Lewis and Maurice Merleau-Ponty to build a new theory of intentionality that solves many of the problems faced by traditional conceptions. |
