Approaches to Intentionality is an authoritative and accessible account of a problem central to contemporary philosophy of mind. Lyons first gives a critical survey of the current debate about the nature of intentionality, then moves on to offer an original new theory. The book is written throughout in a clear, direct, and lively style.

Professor William Lyons is a fellow of Trinity College, Dublin and a member of the Royal Irish Academy. His publications include The Dissapearence of Introspection (Bradford Books - The MIT Press, 1988) and Emotion (CUP, 1985)
