OK, good.
That was what the concert, the concert was about, and now we're going into another subject within
the same area of philosophy of mine is called intentionality.
So intentionality is not something that was invented by John SERM, but he is maybe the person living
today that has made it very much more popular in the philosophy community and written a very good book
about it.
And he's one of the heroes of mine as well, is still going strong up in Berkeley in US.
Here's one quote when he's trying to talk about what intentionality is about and what it's not about.
So my car in my adding machine understands nothing.
They are not in the same line of business, so they do not have an intentionality.
So the intentionality is the boldness of the mind.
So intentionality is the way that the mind is directed at or about the world.
So we have the mind up in our brain and we have things outside in the world.
And that is the intentionality is how the mind is about that world.
So intentionality, it consists of two things, actually.
It has a propositional content, which is usually do not LSP, and it has a psychological mode as so
you can actually write it as as brackets B..
So in this concrete example, we have this handshake going on out in the world.
And my proposition constant about that is that it is an agreement and then I can have different psychological
attitudes towards that propositional content.
So I can think that it is the that they are making an agreement that could be a belief or mine.
So the propositional content is whatever that clauses contribute to, whatever the tension out is about.
Right.
So Ralph believes that Jack Sparrow is alive.
Ralph hopes that Jack Sparrow is alive.
Ralph decides that Jack Sparrow is alive.
They are all of them are three different intentional states, but they have the same propositional content.
But one is a belief, the other one is a desire, and the last one is the hope.
And the first one, for example, here could be stated.
I believe Brackett's Jack Sparrow is alive.
So exactly as I showed you here, the psychological mode could vary even if the propositional content
stays intact.
So I believe that you will leave the room.
I wonder whether you are ever going to leave the room, wish that you would leave the room and cetera,
et cetera.
They are all different psychological modes with the same propositional content, and they are actually
generic modes here.
So they are desires and beliefs which are maybe the two primary modes, and then they are intention
and actions, perceptions, memory and prior intention.
However, many people actually argue that the beliefs and desires could be used to form basically all
of the other modes.
Not all people agree with that, but I will show an example how that potentially could be done, how
you could derive other psychological modes based on just beliefs and desires.
So take this example.
I hope that Jack Sparrow is alive, right.
That could maybe denote that as I do not believe that Jack Sparrow is alive and not believe that not
Jack Sparrow is alive because I don't know.
Right.
And believe that it's possible that Jack Sparrow is alive and desire that Jack Sparrow is alive.
So here I've used kind of three beliefs and one desire.
And in combination with the logical operators, they form what it is to be hoping for something.
Um.
And as a just a note to that, so however, even if feelings and emotions in part could be described
as a combination, they also contain something more, such as love and hate and so on.
So, as I said, you could come a long way using beliefs and desires to combine.
And when you combine them, they can form other psychological modes by you not be able to go all the
way.
OK, then there is a third thing here about intentionality.
It also has something that is called conditions of satisfaction, or at least that is something that
concerns talks a lot about when he talks about intentionality and what does it mean about that?
So the propositional content also determines what will count as its conditions of satisfaction.
What makes that belief true?
What makes the intentions and desires fulfilled?
So let's have an example, so I have this proposition and the content and the conditions and actually
just standing here to be clear that the proposition doesn't have to be text or lack of written sentence
or something could be anything, any way of holding that information that I have in my desire.
So here it is, just kind of internal picture to me, drinking something.
But I will also have a conditional satisfaction here that what makes this belief true then is when water
gets inserted into my mouth in one way or another.
Right.
So maybe here I have a desire for water and that is fulfilled if I get water, OK?
And there is also a fourth thing here, so that was the condition, so so that was the conditions of
satisfaction.
It's like the third thing here, and that is also actually a fourth thing when we're talking about intentional,
that is very important to keep in mind, and that is the direction of it.
So the direction of it is related to the world and the mine.
And this is actually going to be very important later on.
The analysis you will see coming up on a number of different stages in this meta analysis.
So if we have the world and we have the mind, right, then the conditions are satisfied if the content
matched the world in a certain direction of fit.
So, for example, if I have a belief in my mind that a runner with the starting number eight won the
race, if that is the conditions of satisfaction in my belief and the proposition as this runner crossing
the line is I have this number eight on and so on.
So that's the propositional content that is mine to world because it's a belief.
Right.
So I would like my or sorry, I think that my belief fit the real world scenario.
OK, however, if I decide something, then I have a world to mind fit instead of mine to world fit,
right?
Because if I desire water in my mouth and it gets satisfied when water gets inserted into my mouth,
then the the the the direction of it is that I will like the world to match my propositional content
instead of the other way around.
So some psychological modes have a mind to world fit and some have a will to mind fit.
So remember that, because that's actually going to be very important, even if it looks a little bit
abstract right now.
OK.
That was an overview of intentionality and.
The next thing is they were going to go through something that is called the background and the network
of intentionality.
But before that, I will actually do a wrap up and what we have learned so far in a summary lecture.
