 Inner experience is supposed to show us that, when we reject, acknowledge or keeps an open mind about an object, we have ‘the same object in consciousness’. Brentano then moves from ‘same object’ to the conclusion that a judgement, either negative or positive, and a presentation can have exactly the same content so that the difference between judgement and content does not lie in a difference in content. As remarked before, Brentano sometimes talks as if objects are contents. If we read Brentano’s remark charitably, he appeals to introspective knowledge that a presentation can purport to be directed on an object in terms of marks. The judgement that is based on this presentation and rejects the object the presentation purports to be directed on as well as the judgement that acknowledges it, share the content of the presentation (the marks in terms of which the presentation is directed on something). Hence, negative and positive judgements can have the same content. This gives Brentano a reason to endorse  claim (5).  His argument once more rules out a propositional analysis of these judgements, and may thus buttress his arguments in favor of  claim (4).  We will encounter further reasons that speak for accepting (5) later (in  section 5),  where we discuss Brentano’s reasons for rejecting negative properties.
