15. Nature of Minds / B. Features of Minds / 4. Intentionality / b. Intentionality theories

2978	Consciousness no longer seems essential to intentionality [Lyons]
	Full Idea: In contrast with Brentano and Husserl, consciousness or attention are no longer seen as essential to intentionality.
	From: William Lyons (Approaches to Intentionality [1995], Intro)
	A reaction: This strikes me as being correct, although there seem to be plenty of current philosophers who do not accept it (e.g. Searle). I think philosophy of mind may be stuck in the dark ages if thinkers don't accept this proposal.
