Abstract

This chapter attempts to explain, at least in part, how the phenomenology of perceptual, especially visual, experience sets conditions of satisfaction. It discusses the hierarchical structure of visual perception; how the phenomenological features of the subjective visual field determine the conditions of satisfaction of the visual experience; and the role of presentational intentional causation.
