Psychic functions. Intuition, representation, judgment (3)

Comparison between Bain's position and its reconstruction by Brentano
The Brentanian scenario: modern classifications of mental activity
The tripartition of mental phenomena: Kant, Tetens, Mendelssohn, Herbart
Aristotle's three classifications
Resumption of Brentano's theses
- *T1 definition of the psychic and reclassification of mental activities
- *T2: intentional in-existence as a common characteristic of psychic phenomena, and interconnection of said phenomena
The new tripartition: "Representation, Judgment, Affective Movements" replaces "Thought, Feeling, Will" - the classification inherited from Kant, later taken up by Arendt
Intentional in-existence and intentionality
The canonical statement
What is intentional in-existence?
Medieval innovation
Scholasticism and modern philosophy
The constituents of the intentional relation
Intentionality-thesis. In itself and in its own way, every psychic phenomenon contains something intentionally as an object(Objekt)
Why "intentionally" rather than "objectively"?
Brentano's answer: to avoid ambiguities arising from the chiasmus (permutation of meaning) of subject (" subiectum ") and object (" obiectum ") between the Middle Ages and Modernity
Intentional in-existence is "psychic inhabitation
Sources of " Psychische Einwohnung ": Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas
scholastic " Inexistentia " and patristic ἐνύπαρξις
Perichoresis and inhabitation: Brentano's field of theological presence
