summaryIn this talk I will go over my previous Masters' dissertation (2008) and try to give you a few reasons for seeing what is wrong with a Neo-Fregean framework such as Evans' (1982) for grounding the intentionality of thought in perception. I will then briefly hint on a possible way to work on the question in a more naturalist framework, where singularity is conceived in terms of integrated perceptual and cognitive processes with a certain function of orienting the subject towards an object.
