There are three essential features of Intentionality as shown by Franz Brentano. The first feature is that a set of beliefs can be aimed at something that does not exist. For instance a boy could have an imaginary friend named Ralph. This boy has a number of beliefs that are aimed at Ralph. But, Ralph is only a figment of the boy's imagination and isn't real. However, this doesn't change the fact that the boy has a number of beliefs aimed at Ralph, which is Intentionality. In so, Intentionality or aboutness can be connected with something that doesn't exist. .
The second feature of Intentionality is that it's aspectual. Intentionality and aboutness pertain to an aspect of something. For instance when I think of my smart uncle, who's a lawyer, my thoughts are aiming at an aspect of my uncle. My uncle may very well be a rock climber who loves heights but my thoughts and attitudes aren't directed at that aspect of my uncle, they are only aiming at the aspect of my uncle as smart, and who is a lawyer. .
The third and final feature of Intentionality is that it can represent or misrepresent. I can have a set of beliefs and attitudes that aim at a certain something, and can misrepresent that certain something. For instance maybe my beliefs about my uncle being smart and a lawyer are false. My uncle could be a fool who doesn't have a job. My beliefs and attitudes that are aimed at my uncle could be false, in so whatever is intentional can misrepresent as well as represent.

D. Graham finds a number of problems with giving a purely physical account of how a physical process can have Intentionality. Graham's first set of problems with a physical account is based off of the resemblance analysis. The resemblance analysis states that the mind is about objects or states of affairs, when it contains images or pictures of those objects or affairs. Graham finds a number of problems with this first argument.
