Popis: In this work, we ask epistemological questions involved in making the intentional behavior the object of physical and mathematical inquiry. We show that the subjective component of intentionality can never become object of scientific inquiry, as related to self-consciousness. On the other hand, the inquiry on objective physical and logical components of intentional acts is central to scientific inquiry. Such inquiry concerns logical and semantic questions, like reference and truth of logical symbols, as well as their relationship to the “complexity” of brain networking. Such metalogical inquiry suggests indeed some hypotheses about the amazing “parallelism”, “plasticity” and “storing capacity” that mammalian and ever human brains might exhibit.
