... is of, the extension of its what. Every modern philosopher of the scale of mental acts has had to reckon with the immediacy (determinacy) of what is offered by percepts through the “external senses,” whereby the mind has something intensionally positive to think. At the same time, he has had to reckon...

...: 10.1093/oso/9780198803331.003.0005 Semantic memory tasks can focus on intensions (features and properties) or extensions (reference and categorization). The two aspects, intension and extension, should in principle be closely related. It is in virtue of possessing the intensional properties of a concept...

... on the traditional distinction between extension and intension. Although Bertrand Russell did not think highly of Jones’s views, he seems to have felt the pressure to discuss them in his paper “Knowledge by Acquaintance and Knowledge by Description” of 1911, where his criticism resembles the way he criticized Frege...
