Phenomenology : «  Back to the things in themselves »

• proper and improper presentations
• « … improperly appearing moments of the object are in no way presented.  Perception is a complex of full and empty intentions. The full intentions are the properly presentational ones; the empty are precisely empty of any presentational material »
• (Husserl)
• The way we perceive objects is richer than the simple presentational aspect.
• The simple presentational aspects of perception are filled with some imaginary material.
• That full « richer » texture of experience is called a representation.
