Best Answer

An intentional mental state is a mental state that represents content or different states of affairs. For example, a belief is an intentional mental state that represents the way the world it. It may be a true belief that accurately represents the world (i.e. the belief the world is a globe) or it could be a false belief that does not accurately represent the world (i.e. the belief that the world is flat). Desires (including hopes/dreams/etc) are also intentional mental states that represent how the agent would like the world to be.
