Abstract

When Brentano adapted the notion of intentionality from medieval philosophy he had three purposes in mind:

  1. (1)

    the definition of psychology as an independent and objective science alongside physiology

  2. (2)

    the justification of a dualism of physical and psychological phenomena

  3. (3)

    a new and systematic classification of psychological phenomena.
