The text examines the nature of intentionality, critiquing the common tendency to objectify intention as a property inherent in things or facts. The author argues that intentionality is not an objective reality but always the performance or act of a subject. No existing fact can serve as the source or guarantor of intention. Using the example of animal tracks, the text illustrates that while tracks may point to an originator, they are not inherently intentional unless purposefully created for communication. Objects exist as they are, but they only acquire meaning through a relationship with a subject who places them in context. Consequently, meaning is not discovered within things themselves but is subjectively established and endowed through interpretation. Every object is essentially just what it is; it only signifies something when a subject grants it sense or significance through a process of reinterpretation. Intentionality thus remains a subjective act rather than an objective attribute of the world, requiring an active consciousness to bestow meaning upon the environment.
