Only minds are intrinsically intentional
VoorArgument

#769
Mental states alone are intrinsically intentional. Computational systems are only intentional relative to some observer who treats them "as if" they had intentional states.
John Searle 1980a, 1980b, 1990b.

The Chinese Room Argument [4]☜Instantiation of a formal program isnt enough to produce semantic understanding or intentionality. A man who doesnt understand Chinese, can answer written Chinese questions using an English rulebook telling him how to manipulate Chinese symbols.☜EF597B

Husserl argues mental states are intrinsically intentional☜Edmund Husserl argues meanings and mental states are a sort of entity whose very nature is to be representational. They have formal, rule-governed aspects, but cant be reduced to formal structures.☜98CE71

Intentionality implies self-awareness and drive »
Intentionality implies self-awareness and drive
Intentionality implies self-awareness and drive☜Human actions are driven by needs to achieve physical homeostasis, to repeat a past behavior that resulted in dopamine reward or other physical drive (Antonio Damasio). Over time, self-awareness has evolved that enables the mind to consider oneself as an agent, project outcomes of actions and intentionally select optimal ones. Neither all mental states nor mother nature are necessarily intentional, but a mental state, mother nature or robot might have intention.☜EF597B

Only mother nature exhibits original intentionality
Only mother nature exhibits original intentionality☜Humans do not exhibit original intentionality (or to use Searles terms, intrinsic intentionality); rather their intentionality is derived from genes. In turn, genes have secondary intentionality. The regress ends, however: with Mother Nature.☜EF597B
