[FRIAM] intension/extension

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

Dear Phellow Phriamers, 

 

Late in this morning's session, we had a conversation of the baffling
concepts of extension and intension, both as they apply in philosophy and in
programming. 

 

I had a terrible time articulating my own view, and so ask leave to post an
article ((PDF) Intentionality is the mark of the vital
<https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312031901_Intentionality_is_the_ma
rk_of_the_vital> )which showed that the distinction is as important to
biology as it is to any other field. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Nick
