Necessary Intentionality: A Study in the Metaphysics of Aboutness
Simchen, Ori (University of British Columbia)
Is it possible for the name of a particular person not to refer to that person? Ori Simchen defends a negative answer to this question, and presents a new account of aboutness, or intentionality. He argues that intentional items--such as words, thoughts, photos--are about whatever they are about as a matter of necessity, rather than contingency.
