« Husserl et les limites du modèle intentionnaliste de la conscience »

This paper aims to ask the question whether, in Husserl’s perspective, all consciousness is intentional and to explore the alternatives. Thus, we have proceeded to a thorough analysis of Husserl’s texts concerning temporality and the rather bizarre type of intentionality that it implies. The examining of this intentionality that Husserl calls “longitudinal intentionality” has brought us to the conclusion that its intentional character incomprehensible unless we change our very concept of intentionality which cannot be anymore that of an object-relation, as it were defined in the Logical Investigations. It is, therefore, the very limit of intentionality that is revealed by our questioning the time-consciousness in Husserl.
