Meaning

	Intension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intension (or "connotation") refers to the meaning or characteristics encompassed by a given word, often expressed by a definition.
		Intension is often discussed with regard to extension.
		Intension and intensionality (the state of having intension) should not be confused with intention and intentionality, which are pronounced the same and occasionally arise in the same philosophical context.

	Definition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An intensional definition specifies all and only the properties required of something in order that falls under the term defined (its necessary and sufficient conditions).
		The distinction between the extension and the intension of a word is very similar to the distinction between a word's denotation and connotation.
		The intension of the word is more brief because it includes just two properties: the property of being a man, and the property of being unmarried.

	Intension (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Intensional communication is fundamental to friendly conversation and civil discourse.
		The conflict between affirmative, intensional use of language and invert opportunistic use of language is filled with strange twists and turns.
		The real intension behind any language presentation is always questionable to some degree, especially since it is often difficult to separate the meanings we intend in the words we use from the motives that move us to do what we do.

	Intension (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The intension of a word or phrase (not to be confused with intention or intentionality) may be regarded as a description, or set of properties (if one can indulge talk of properties at all), which applies to each member of the word's extension, and which distinguishes those things from everything not in the extension.
		In other words, a word or phrase's intension is the set of necessary and sufficient conditions for identifying what is in its extension.
		In a closely related usage in computer science, some database textbooks use the term intension to refer to the schema of a database, and extension to refer to particular instances of a database.

	Levels of intension and theories of reference
		If intensions determine their extensions, the relativist and pragmatic way of speaking might seem to be the true one.
		If we consider only the explicit intensions, it then appears quite tree to say that we first had a term which correctly applies to whales, and that this term was exchanged for a term which correctly does not apply to whales.
		The question is whether the new intensions are determined in a way which is in conflict with the intension-determines-extension thesis.

	"Definitions, Dictionaries, and Meanings", by Norman Swartz, Dept. of Philosophy, Simon Fraser University
		In giving an intensional definition for a term, we give a set of conditions which are each logically necessary and which are jointly logically sufficient for the correct application of the term.
		Adding to the intension a term which is logically implied by [Note 19] another a term (or terms already present) in the intension, will not decrease the extension.
		Increasing the intension of the expression, "number", by adding to it the adjective, "even", to yield an expression of greater intension, "even number", curiously produces a classwith the same number of members as the original class of lesser intension.

		To a two-dimensionalist, the obvious upshot is that the truth of (1) and (2) depends not only on the secondary intension of Lois's beliefs, but also on the primary intension of her belief (so that a belief that satisfies (1) won't have the right sort of primary intension to satisfy (2)).
		From here, he infers that I am committed to the claim that 'It is knowable a priori that' operates on the primary intension of the embedded sentence S (or at least that only the primary intension of S matters to the truth-value of the apriority claim).
		It follows that the a priori knowledge expressed by Huey's utterance of (11a) will have the same primary and secondary intensions as the utterance itself, which are the same as the primary and secondary intensions of the occurrence of the embedded sentence in (11c).

	Necessary and Sufficient Conditions
		If the intension of concept X is "circular and metallic" then you know that all of the objects to which concept X applies are circular and metallic, and that's it.
		So if the intension of concept X is "has an engine" then in the extension of X you will have all running boats, cars, lawnmowers, remote control vehicles, planes, etc., since all of these objects meet the description "has an engine".
		One we've made this proposed definition or intension, we should check to see what objects fit it (which objects will be in the extension of that concept).

		I don't think that the appropriateness constraint on the ascribee's primary intension is always derived from a constraint on the relation to the ascriber's primary intension.
		Soames says that since the primary intension of (16) (relative to the assignment of Pappy to 'x') is true in all contexts (scenarios), it follows by Apriori 1 that (16) is a priori.
		Re (i): The primary intensions of sentences referring to external objects are always sensitive to the mode of presentation of that object, and in particular are sensitive by definition to the inferential role associated with that mode of presentation.

	The Foundations of Two-Dimensional Semantics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The epistemic intension of a sentence token S is true at a scenario W iff D epistemically necessitates S, where D is a canonical description of W. It remains to clarify three notions: the notion of a scenario, that of a canonical description, and that of epistemic necessitation.
		We require this as the sentences S whose epistemic intensions we are defining are tokens, and it is possible for two sentence tokens of the same linguistic type to have different epistemic properties (for the reasons, see section 3.8).
		A consequence may be that when an expression's epistemic intension is evaluated at the actual centered world of the expression, it does not yield the expression's extension (e.g., the epistemic intension of CH may be indeterminate at the actual world, even if CH is true).

		Since the extension of a term is the set of entities that have the properties listed in the intension, the extension of a term is determined empirically through a procedure of matching the properties listed to entities in the world.
		The properties that constitute the intension of a term depend upon the conventional meaning of the term.

	wo's weblog: A Paper
		A bit more precisely, the set of situations M is the A-intension of S in a certain community iff, roughly, 1) members of the community typically try to utter S only in situations that belong to M; and 2) they expect each other to utter S only in such situations.
		If M is analytically fundamental, its A-intension contains the current situation c and only such other situations c' for which there is no sentence in the relevant language with which its users could communicate that they are in c but not in c'.
		One alternative to semantic A-intensions as I employed them are 'metasemantic' A-intensions, defined as the set of situations in which the relevant sentence is uttered as a truth, where the relevant sentence is individuated orthographically or phonetically.

	fragments of consciousness: Soames Chapter 10: De re attitude ascriptions
		Huey's belief has a secondary intension true in all worlds where x is the shortest Chinese spy (where here x is the actual shortest Chinese spy), which is the right sort of secondary intension to make both (5a) and (5b) true, according to (A) and (B).
		That primary intension is the primary intension of 'Lee' (as used by the ascriber).
		Insofar as ascriptions involving indexicals and demonstratives typically entail corresponding de re ascriptions, and insofar as de re ascriptions require acquaintance-involving primary intensions, the natural conclusion is that the ascriptions involving indexicals and demonstratives typically have "appropriateness" conditions that require acquaintance-involving primary intensions.

	The Components of Content
		This intension maps an ordered pair (V, W) consisting of a scenario and a world to an extension or a truth-value in W. When a thought T is evaluated at (V, W), it returns the truth-value of T in the counterfactual world W, under the assumption that V is actual.
		The epistemic intension of a concept determines its extension, and the epistemic intension is internally determined.
		A thought's contextual intension is defined by the heuristic discussed earlier: T is true in a centered world W (with T present at the center) if T is true as thought at the center of W. Likewise, the contextual intension of a concept C will return C's extension in worlds with C at the center.

	Anachronism, responsibility and historical intension
		The apparent asymmetry between extensional and intensional construction is seen by trying to equate intensional construction with what has recently been happening to British rock music.
		Intensional construction pre-supposes an existent structure which will necessarily have an historical dimension, a dimension absent from the `extensional' musemes.
		It is for this reason that any simple, bivalent equation of extensional construction, at the level of style, with the history of the modernist tradition, and an equation of intensional construction with the popular tradition, is inappropriate.

		Therefore an aureole is not subject to intension or remission.
		Accordingly, intension not of the aureole but of the aurea corresponds to the intension of merit derived from its root; while intension of the aureole corresponds to intension of merit derived from the kind of act.

		If the argument that a mental phenomenon has a referent within itself is accepted, then this referent would be the intension of the phenomenon, or that which is held within it.

	Leibniz on Intension and Extension (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Leibniz is well-known for his intensional interpretation of logic, according to which a subject-predicate sentence is true just in case the concept signified by the predicate is included in the concept signified by the subject.
		But he also discusses, and sometimes even employs, an extensional approach, according to which a subject-predicate sentence is true just in case the set of things in the extension of the subject is included in the set of things in the extension of the predicate.
		In this paper I examine Leibniz's views on intension, extension, and the connections between them.

		In the conceptual domain of intensional psychology, there are said to be such constitutive principles associated with the assignment of content: “the content of a propositional attitude derives from its place in the pattern [of states]”; and that pattern is said to involve “a large degree of consistency,” or rationality, and correctness (1980b, 221).
		But, then, primary intension is not something an individual language learner, qua competent language user, must know, have acquired, or have anything approaching full cognitive access to.
