The Phenomenological Theory of Categorical Representation
Intuition and representation are an important pair of concepts in Husserl's phenomenological analysis of intentionality.In his analysis,Husserl distinguishes between intuitive and symbolic acts,in which,according to him,only in the latter can a distinction be made between the internal content and the intentional object of the act;conversely speaking,the distinction between the internal content and the intentional object is meaningful because the distinction between the two former acts is made.Genuine cognition as a unity of fulfilment takes place on the basis of a categorical act,and categorical intuition is the only way to attain knowledge of truth.Husserl's theory of categorical representation is an attempt to clarify how that process might be possible and work.There are two ways in which we can"grasp"categories:by intuition and by representation,and the latter is an exploration of the way in which the intuitive act is represented.The theory of categorical intuition and representation enables Husserl to address the questions of how categorical objects are constituted and how cognition of categorical objects is achieved.
