Imagen y experiencia: La fenomenología husserliana de la fantasía (1898–1913)

Este libro sostiene que, para Husserl, la imaginación no es un derivado de la percepción, sino un modo de conciencia distinto y temporalmente estructurado. Centrado en el concepto de presentificación intuitiva, muestra cómo la fantasía funciona como una auténtica forma de conciencia reproductiva. Al reconstruir los análisis husserlianos en su tránsito hacia la filosofía trascendental, el estudio revela cómo la estructuración temporal fundamenta las experiencias de presencia y ausencia, incluida la experiencia estética y los mundos ficcionales.

This book argues that, for Husserl, imagination is not a derivative of perception but a distinct, temporally structured mode of consciousness. Focusing on the concept of intuitive presentification, it shows how phantasy functions as a genuine form of reproductive consciousness. Tracing Husserl’s analyses on the path toward transcendental philosophy, the study reveals how temporal structuring underlies experiences of presence and absence, including aesthetic experience and fictional worlds.
