This paper examines the place of intentionality of consciousness within the cognizance of existentialist ontology. This puts into consideration, the goal of the paper is to explicate the intentionality thesis as an existential thesis. The issue of prior dependence upon previous ontologies is discussed as a measure of insight to note the point of departure between existentialism and non-existentialist theories of ontology. Otherwise, one might be tempted to accept the thrust of the previous ontology that sees truth in light of changeless notion. The existentialist ontology and the architectonics associated with the intentionality category is more plausible in explaining the notion of a multivalent epistemology, that is, epistemological framework oriented towards many truths.
