Abstract

Beyond the simple explicitation of the complexity and richness of the notion of "wanting to say" or "Meaning", our purpose is to show how the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind are articulated: meaning or wanting to say is as much a matter of words as of thoughts, as much a matter of meaning as of action, and particularly in a philosophical context. The question is of course to know what exactly are the relations that prevail between these different dimensions and particularly for contemporary philosophy.
