Domestic present state of the harmony of mind is not optimistic, while we must pay attention to people's harmony of mind to build a harmonious society. The harmony of mind is a relationship of coherent and stable relatively among the mind, as well as the various elements that impact on it directly, and also an important foundation and strong support for building a harmonious society. Searle's theory of intentionality provides one kind of theoretical basis for studying the harmony of mind because the intentionality has linked the world with the mind. The harmony of mind is a collection of intentionality, which internal process of the harmony of mind within the various elements achieves a relatively stable personality mind, and which external process of the relationship related to the harmony of mind achieves a whole harmony of mind.This article divides three chapters to explain the harmony of mind with Searle's theory of intentionality:firstly, intentional ity's Background analysis on the harmony of mind; secondly, intentionality's integration analysis on the harmony of mind; thirdly, intentional ity's purpose analysis on the harmony of mind.We explain intentionality's Background analysis on the harmony of mind in Chapter 1. Searle believes that Background is not only a set of abilities, tendencies, customs, temperament, self-evident preconditions, methods, and the corresponding culture, but also our rational thinking and behavior in a large extent. All of the state of intentionality such as beliefs, hopes and fears can work actually only under the Background which enables us to meet the world in new methods and capacities. In a certain sense, the mind achieves a harmonious state, which gives our present mind to make one kind of preinstall ability prominently. The Background makes the representation, consciousness and conscious action to be possible, so it lays the foundation for the harmony of mind. Furthermore, the harmony of mind is also advantageous to the formation of the coordinated background ability. We must know very well and utilize Chinese and foreign tradition of the harmony of mind, and take the Background as the basis for cognition and judgment, which will led to the harmony of mind.We explain intentionality's integration analysis on the harmony of mind in Chapter 2. The coordinated movement of mind, which includes each interior component and its associated external factor, is one kind of integrative process, so form the harmonious mind. Intentionality content associates with the world through different intentionality's states in different ways, and Searle calls the different ways as the intentionality's direction of fit. Under the condition of the intentionality's direction of fit, the speech act and the intent may use the intentionality's conditions of satisfaction to take the measurable standard. In any case, whether the intentionality is satisfied depends on consistency between the proposition content and the facts expressed by the content. This consistency is the rule of the integration of mind-the intentional causation. All of these above are the intentionality's basis of the integration of mind. We need integrate mind and mind-related relationships, that is, integrate the relationships between man and nature, between man and society, between persons each other, each of oneself, and to achieving the harmony of mind.Lastly, we explain intentionality's purpose analysis on the harmony of mind in Chapter 3. The harmonious mind's immediate goal is a harmony of each mind's interior component. The individual's states of mind always adjust automatically through the soul system from the discordant state to the harmony state gradually. The harmonious mind's overall and ultimate goal is the goal which the harmonious mind whole achieves, that is, the construction of a harmonious society (specifically to China, she is constructing a socialism harmonious society). Searle takes collective intentionality, function assignment and constitutive rules as the three basic elements to construct social reality. The humanity uses collective intentionality to give the status function, thereby create the social and institutional reality. It is of great theoretical and practical significance to promote the harmony of mind as a solid foundation and a dominant value for constructing a harmonious society.
