Whitehead and the Pittsburgh School - Preempting the Problem of Intentionality

This book investigates Alfred North Whitehead's critiques of analytic philosophy in early nineteenth-century Cambridge and examines the ways in which those critiques both anticipate the problem of intentionality and inform contemporary efforts to resolve it-specifically those of the Pittsburgh School.
