What do thoughts, hopes, paintings, words, desires, photographs,
traffic signs, and perceptions have in common? They are all about
something, are directed, are contentful - in a way chairs and
trees, for example, are not. This book inquires into the source of
this power of directedness that some items exhibit while others do
not. An approach to this issue prevalent in the philosophy of the
past half-century seeks to explain the power of directedness in
terms of certain items' ability to reliably track things in their
environment. A very different approach, with a venerable history
and enjoying a recent resurgence, seeks to explain the power of
directedness rather in terms of an intrinsic ability of conscious
experience to direct itself. This book attempts a synthesis of both
approaches, developing an account of the sources of such
directedness that grounds it both in reliable tracking and in
conscious experience.
