ABSTRACT
We wind up our general probe into the phenomenological structure of in-tentional experience with a discussion which throws important light on the main problems in our special field of meaning. It deals with the relation of quality to matter, and so with the sense in which each act both needs and also includes in itself a presentation which serves as its basis. We here at once come up against fundamental difficulties, scarce noticed before 1 and certainly not put into words. The gap in our phenomenological knowledge is all the more grievous since, while it remains unfilled, we can have no real insight into the essential make-up of intentional experiences, and none therefore into meanings.
