The Dispensability of Intentional Objects
Uriah Kriegel (Arizona/Sydney)

Abstract:
If we can, we should avoid ontological commitment to (merely) intentional objects. I sketch a strategy for doing so. The strategy is based on two claims. The first is that conscious intentionality is the only underived or "original" intentionality. The second is that conscious intentionality does not (constitutively) involve a relation to an intentional object, because it is "adverbial": to consciously have a dragon thought is not to think of a dragon, but to think dragon-wise.

You can read the paper on which this talked is based at http://uriahkriegel.com/downloads/dragon-wise.pdf
