Meanings
- Intended or planned; done deliberately or voluntarily.
-
Reflecting intention; marking an expenditure of will in the shape of a matter.
It should, however, be borne in mind that even in the cohortative proper, the -ah does not add to the simple imperfect the ‘intentional’ signification expressed by that mood: the signification is already there, and the new termination merely renders it more prominent.
1892, Samuel Rolles Driver, A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in Hebrew, Third, Revised And Improved edition, Oxford: Clarendon Press, page 79:When Kafka’s novels are analyzed with the autistic frame of reference in mind the behavior of his protagonists make more sense and will reveal that Kafka’s protagonists focus on external behavioral cues which are guided by Kafka’s education and mindset of a lawyer. As such Kafka’s protagonists are a reflection of the thinking and behavior of Kafka the author. Critics and literary scholars misinterpret Kafka’s work by focusing on aspects such as the psychological and mental state of the characters, which are of limited actual concern for the externally intentional focus of the writer Kafka.
2017 May 16, Jerry Stuger, “Kafka and Autism. The Undisclosed Logic Behind Kafka’s Work”, in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, volume 47, →DOI, pages 2336–2347:
- Done with intent.
- Object to intentionality, only appearing due to wilful perception.
-
Directed toward or about a foci of attentional consciousness; possessing the property of being a consciousness of something.
It is of the very nature of consciousness to be intentional and a consciousness that would cease to be consciousness of something would for that very reason cease to exist.
1948, Jean-Paul Sartre, The Psychology of Imagination, page 265:
