Answer
Brentano reintroduced the philosophy of intentionality, which is the idea that mental states are always directed towards something, or that they have an object. This idea was originally developed by Aristotle, but it was forgotten by most philosophers until Brentano rediscovered it. Intentionality is now considered to be one of the most important concepts in philosophy of mind.
