I think there is a useful distinction to be drawn between these two types of ‘intentionality’ – the first is a type of ‘satisfaction’ condition, the lattera type of ‘correctness’ condition.
Type A.
Desire - satisfied/dissatisfied
Goal - attained/unattained
Problem - solved/unsolved
Competition - won/lost
Question - answered/unanswered
Task - completed/incomplete
Difficulty - resolved/unresolved
Fact - established/not established
Theory - confirmed/disconfirmed
Understanding - attained/unattained
And so on.
Type B
Belief/statement - true/false
Reasoning - valid/invalid
Behaviour - appropriate/inappropriate
Action - rational/irrational
Game playing - correct/incorrect
Object - valuable/worthless
Performance - good/bad
Action - moral/immoral
Institution - just/unjust
Situation - fair/unfair
Question: Do these regulative criteria/judgements develop together: is there a common developmental root?
