略论塞尔的意向性理论

On Seale's theory of intentionality

塞尔对传统的意向性理论进行了大胆的改进。他用自然主义的观点,认为意向性在自然界有其地位,所以"不主张还原和化约"。同时认为意向性不是心理状态的独有特性,因为人之外的事物在象征和比喻、派生的意义上也具有意向性。塞尔的意向性理论标志着新的哲学方向,那就是把言语行为放在心的背景中去考察,用语言来说明心的意向性,为之制定意向性理论。

J.Seale has boldly improved the traditional theory of intentionality.Based on naturalism,he thinks that intentionality has its positions in the nature,so he does not maintain reduction and simplification.And he thinks intentionality isn't the sole characteristic of mental state,because something except human beings has intentionality on the meaning of signifying,metaphor and spin-off.His theory of intentionality symbolizes the new philosophy direction,which is putting the illocutionary acts into the mental background and showing the mental intentionality by language aimed at formulating the theory of intentionality.
