This chapter aims to show that both discursive and somatic intentionality must be considered as equally original with regard to the philosophical work they are called upon to perform, because discursive intentionality and somatic intentionality are individually necessary and jointly sufficient for judgements with empirical content: as empirical content or objective purport. It explains why it is that people need both discursive and somatic intentionality and examines how to remove the obstacles that have prevented us from accommodating both kinds, and what further distinctions are needed to render the view intellectually satisfactory. The chapter then briefly sketches how the author understands C. I. Lewis and Sellars as trying to satisfy the demand for transcendental friction. Finally, it focuses on John McDowell's account of experience and argues that his distinction between discursive and intuitional conceptual content cannot satisfy the demand.
