Study of founding presentations with special regard to the theory of judgement

If we may take the results of our last chapter as assured, we must distinguish two concepts of Presentation. Presentation in Sense One is an act (or a peculiar act-quality) on a level with Judgement, Wish, Question etc. We have examples of this concept in all cases where isolated words, or where complete sentences not functioning normally, are merely understood: we understand indicative, interrogative and optative sentences without ourselves judging, asking or wishing. The same applies to any unexpressed, merely floating thoughts where no ‘attitude’ is taken up, or any mere imaginations etc.
