"Intention" and "intentionality" in the scholastics, Brentano and Husserl

Herbert Spiegelberg

pp. 3-26

This essay originally appeared in vol. 5 (1936), of the journal Philosophische Hefte,edited by Maximilian Beck, first in Berlin and finally in Prague. The inaccessibility of this journal, which ceased publication after the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia, and the fact that, to my astonishment, there is still considerable interest in this incidental essay, explains this reprint in almost unaltered form. In the Postscript a new paragraph is identified and attention is called to the fact that this study needs expanding and updating in several places. The seemingly new title (" "Intention' und "Intentionalität' in der Scholastik, bei Brentano and Husserl") which replaces the earlier one ("Der Begriff der Intentionalität in der Scholastik, bei Brentano and bei Husserl") merely signifies a return to my original choice.
