Abstract

Šio straipsnio tikslas – specifikuoti priežastingumo kategorijos vaidmenį priežastinių mintinio turinio teorijų pateikiamose intencionalumo koncepcijose. Šio tikslo siekiama analizuojant priežastinių mintinio turinio teorijų ir dviejų šio tipo teorijas lydinčių filosofinių teorijų – filosofinio natūralizmo doktrinos ir reprezentacinės sąmonės teorijos – tarpusavio ryšį. Atliekama analizė leidžia tiksliau apibrėžti priežastinių intencionalumo teorijų pagrindą sudarančio priežastinio komponento teorinį vaidmenį ir vietą bei parodyti, kokiu būdu šis komponentas tampa reliacinės intencionalumo koncepcijos pagrindu.

Highlights

  • The doctrine that intentionality of language and thought is a causal relation of a particular kind has become an essential – if rarely argued – part of the currently predominant philosophical theorizing on the nature of intentional­ity

  • In each case the causal relation that is hypothesized to account for the relevant phenomena is a relation between some sort of mental object and some non-mental object. (Davis 1983: 1)

  • For example, causality figures in the concepts of perception and memory: if S sees x, x causally explains S’s perception; the same goes, mutatis mutandis, for memory. It figures in determining the contents of propositional attitudes; for, at least in certain central cases, the content of a belief is partially determined by the normal cause of beliefs of that type. (Child 1994: 90)

Summary

Introduction

The doctrine that intentionality of language and thought is a causal relation of a particular kind has become an essential – if rarely argued – part of the currently predominant philosophical theorizing on the nature of intentional­ity. Robert Stalnaker describes the project of naturalization of intentionality in the following way: The challenge presented to the philosopher who wants to regard human beings and mental phenomena as part of the natural order is to explain intentional relations in naturalistic terms.
