Consciousness and Intentionality in Anton Marty’s Lecture on Descriptive Psychology
In Hamid Taieb & Guillaume Fréchette (eds.), Mind and Language. On the Philosophy of Anton Marty. Berlin: De Gruyter. pp. 23-40 (2017)
Abstract
Abstract: In this study, I propose to examine Marty’s reconstruction of the general
framework in which Brentano develops his theory of consciousness. My
starting point is the formulation, at the very beginning of the second chapter
of the second book of Brentano’s Psychology, of two theses on mental phenomena,
which constitute the basis of Brentano’s theory of primary and secondary objects.
In the second part, I examine the objection of infinite regress raised
against Brentano’s theory of primary and secondary objects and Marty’s interpretation
of Brentano’s theory of the unity of consciousness. The third part bears on
the important distinction between implicit and explicit consciousness, which
Brentano introduces in his lectures on descriptive psychology. Here, I analyse
Marty’s principle of individuation in light of the modifications which Brentano
made to his theory of consciousness after the publication of his Psychology in
1874. The last section is an examination of Marty’s conception of consciousness
as self-consciousness with respect to his principle of individuation.
