This book aims to reclaim the significance of meaning within the philosophical thinking that has evolved from Descartes and Locke through Kant, Husserl, and Frege, focusing on intentionalityâ"the mind's directedness toward the reality.

The author opens with an epistemological account of analyticity and illustrates the central role of intentionality within it. A transcendentalist view on intentionality is then adopted, in contrast with the prevalent naturalist stance. Addressing key themes in the philosophy of languageâ"truth, representation, propositions, predication, reference, and senseâ" the book presents a framework for a meaningâ"intentionality theory, which integrates key insights from Frege, Husserl, Wittgenstein, Dummett, and Davidson.

The book will appeal to scholars and graduate students of epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, theory of meaning, and theory of intentionality.
