Sumario:The aim of the present article is to investigate the Sartre’s critic about the imagination theory as it is outlined in his work The Imagination (1936): as we will see, Sartre intends to deal with a new consciousness eidetic variation, the imaginary consciousness, and it’s correlate, the image as a specific mode that this imaginative consciousness possesses to apprehend a presence from an absence. So the question is: what must be a consciousness so that it imagines an X that is neither really nor presently given in the phenomenal field? Carrying out a theoretical deconstruction of the sixteenth and seventeenth-century psychologies and philosophies (as well as nineteenth-century positivist psychologies), Sartre hopes to renew the image theory from an eidetic analysis: in this respect, the image, as we shall see, will cease to be a mere revived or weakened sensation of the real object. Moreover, the current work will also attempt to make a precise critique of Husserl’s notion of hylé (mental image matter).
