The term '''intentionality''' is often simplistically summarised as "aboutness".  According to the [[Oxford English Dictionary]], it is "the distinguishing property of [[mind]] of being necessarily directed upon an object, whether real or imaginary". Originally intentionality was a concept from scholastic philosophy. The concept of intentionality was reintroduced in 19th century [[philosophy]] by [[Franz Brentano]] in his work ''Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint''.  Brentano defined intentionality as one characteristic of "mental phenomena", by which they could be distinguished from "physical phenomena" (''physische Phänomene''), using such phrases as "reference to a content", the "direction towards an object" and "the immanent objectivity".
