Page "Kazimierz Twardowski" Paragraph 5

In his On the Content and Object of Presentations, Twardowski argues for a distinction between content and object in the frame of the theory of intentionality of his teacher Franz Brentano.

According to him the mind is divided in two main areas: acts or mental phenomena, and a physical phenomenon.

For example an act of presentation is aimed at a presentation.

This is what he called ‘ intentionality ’, aboutness.

Every act is about something, but also every presentation goes together with an act of presentation.
