PEREZ-JIMENEZ, Miguel Ángel  and  SUAREZ-ACEVEDO, Camila. Intention and Experience: Challenges for a Theory of Joint Attention. discus.filos [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.32, pp.97-115. ISSN 0124-6127.  https://doi.org/10.17151/difil.2018.19.32.7.

This paper defends that the theorization on the capacity for joint attention must clarify the concepts of experience and intention: a purely philosophical enterprise. The text exposes the main psychological aspects of the capacity, the most relevant theories on it and philosophically analyses the subject. It is concluded that there is no mature consensus among theories about the operational and functional role of joint attention, and that the immaturity of the theory rests on a deficient elaboration of the main concepts of intention and experience, a task in which philosophy makes a significant contribution.

Keywords : Joint attention; experience; intention; philosophy of psychology.
