Quantum Mechanics and Intentionality

Abstract: Two mysteries -loosely connected?The Authors who have suggested a deep connection between the solution of the mind-body problem and the understanding of quantum mechanics are too numerous to list. But what exactly would be the alleged structural fit between these two deeply puzzling theoretical issues? Can a genuine philosophical issue -which by its very nature is conceptual in nature -ultimately be resolved by advances in the empirical sciences? The connection is all too often asserted to lie in the subjects … Show more

“…1,61 On the other hand, in the realworld changes in many outcomes are rarely linear. 62,63 The cusp catastrophe model can explain why relatively small changes in a parameter can result in catastrophic changes in the state of a system. If distal factors are low, the intentional system will be heading in a fluctuating and linear way, depending on the proximal factors' severity), and characterized by inappropriateness of an intentional object or connection.…”

“…Human intentionality has a profoundly biological origin, whereby people have to produce intentional states ( 19 23 ). At micro-level, the so called ‘micro-intentionality’ or ‘nano-intentionality’ of cells, as a form of ‘intrinsic intentionality’, is extended by analogy in hearts or kidneys, which can have “derived” intentionality ( 17 ).…”

“…It has no relation with the proposed views of intentionality, such as linguistic, derived or original intentionality ( 9 ), but with inner parts or structure of intentionality. In a recent paper, using relative neuroscientific findings ( 19 , 30 33 ), we provided an overview of possible pathways of an ‘intentional system’ in the brain, according to the conceptual and neurobiological traces of ‘aboutness’ and ‘directedness’ in the brain and in the behavior ( 34 ) ( Table 1 ).…”
