Abstract

Intentionality has recently made a strong appearance in philosophy of language and even in the area which might best be described as the intersection of philosophy of language and cognitive science. That intentionality, as part and parcel of a given conceptual apparatus, may help us out in determining how best to analyze certain sorts of speech acts seems obvious. What may not be so obvious is that intentionality, even in its role as aid to the pragmatics of philosophy of language, can be of assistance in epistemic justification theory.
