Husserl’s theory of perceptive donation according to profiles1 1 Information on financing: São Paulo Research Foundation – FAPESP Procedure 2013/11017-1.

Abstract

In this article, we focus on the theory of perception in Edmund Husserl’s philosophy. We present and discuss the description of the original form of donation of the perceived thing which, according to the philosopher, occurs amidst perception horizons marked by an inexhaustible multiplicity of perceptive profiles. Our specific problem is to evidence, among Husserl’s description of the perceptive process, the conjugation of three elements of phenomenological research: the intentional unity of perceptive awareness, the bodily I and the dynamics of presence and absence that characterizes the perceptive field. We are guided by the hypothesis that the link among these elements represents an affective condition of intentionality that rest on the unperceived.
