Abstract

This chapter explores what we find in the phenomenological field—intentional consciousness. It discusses the structures of intentional consciousness (the correlation between a noesis and a noema), and the themes that result: the lived-body and motivation, the “unmotivated upsurge of the world,” and an “operative intentionality” that further thematizes the correlation between consciousness and world in terms of a more primordial, and not just static, intentionality.
