| Intensions: intensions are reference objects resulting from a linguistic description, in contrast to the material objects (extensions) that may differ therefore, whether due to inaccuracies, or by the use of indexical expressions. Examples of intensions are “the oldest person in the room”, “the winner”, “John's favorite quote”, “the one who violates the speed limit”. See also morning star/evening star, extensionality, extension._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

G. E. M. Anscombe on Intensions - Dictionary of Arguments
Frank I 96 I/Intension/Self/Logic/Anscombe: here the "way of givenness" is unimportant. >Way of givenness. 97 The logician understands that "I" in my mouth is just another name for "E.A.". His rule: if x makes assertions with "I" as subject, then they are true if and only if the predicates of x are true. >Predication. AnscombeVsLogic/AnscombeVsKripke: for this reason, he makes the transition from "I" to "Descartes". >I, Ego, Self, >Saul Kripke. But this is too superficial: if you are a speaker who says "I", you cannot find out what it is that says "I". For example, we do not look from which device the sound comes. >Self-identification, >Self-reference, >Reference. Thus, we must require our logicians to assume a "guaranteed" reference of "I". I 98 Problem: with a guaranteed reference there is no difference between "I" and "A". >Logic/Anscombe._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
