Abstract

This article deals with the phenomenological foundations of the intentional theory of meaning. Despite the peculiar reductionism, the phenomenological tradition lays the methodological basis for the philosophy of ordinary language. Semantic and pragmatic studies of language pay special attention to distinguishing the content of mental states from the content of the proposition. A special role is played by externalist approaches in analyzing the situational cultural forms of presupposition. In the researchers understanding, language has become not just a sign-symbolic communicative system but also a type of social activity that translates cultural meanings. The stages of the theory of speech acts formation manifest grounds for the convergence of the philosophy of language with the classical psychophysical problem (mind-body problem).
