Since the late 1970's, the main research program for understanding
intentionality - the mind's ability to direct itself onto the world
- has been based on the attempt naturalize intentionality, in the
sense of making it intelligible how intentionality can occur in a
perfectly natural, indeed entirely physical, world. Some
philosophers, however, have remained skeptical of this entire
approach. In particular, some have argued that phenomenal
consciousness - the subjective feel of conscious experience - has
an essential role to play in the theory of intentionality, a role
missing in the naturalization program. Thus a number of authors
have recently brought to the fore the notion of phenomenal
intentionality, as well as a cluster of nearby notions. There is a
vague sense that their work is interrelated, complementary, and
mutually reinforcing, in a way that suggests a germinal research
program. With twelve new essays by philosophers at the forefront of
the field, this volume is designed to launch this research program
in a more self-conscious way, by exploring some of the fundamental
claims and themes of relevance to this program.
