ABSTRACT
I want to attempt here what may seem the impossible: to agree with both Dan Dennett and John Searle about the mind-or, at any rate, about intentionality. I do not mean agreement on every detail, of course; that would be too much to hope. Rather, the idea is to outline a view that accommodates (what seem to me) the most central and the most important of their respective insights and intuitions, at the expense of a few others. As it happens, the effort to achieve unity entails the occasional point of disagreement with both of them as well as the introduction of some exogenous material that I can only hope is compatible with what's already there.
