Commitment or awareness
Immediate consciousness, even what we call political consciousness, intentionality is a denial in the sense that this “is an essential feature of the sphere of experiences because all experiences have, in one way or another, intentionality …” (Ideas I, Husserl, § 84), that is, lived experience.
So what is essential for the phenomenon is to be attached to a key link in the intentional life (is opposed to the other have consciousness, which, a priori, are idealistic and somewhat “empty”) and therefore intentional is quite differently consciousness.
It is the understanding of a being that exists in each ones, which can give a state-of-things, a universality, a value, which in philosophy is called a ‘there own “, or” immediately appeared, or many authors (Husserl, Buber and others) the US iT, which points to something confusedly, empty and pure spectator, but at the same fear his being even (of something) is observed, recognized and experienced.
So for Edmund Husserl, intentionality is “what characterizes consciousness in serious and concordant sense to indicate the current of lived experience as stream of consciousness, and as consciousness of unity” (Ideas I, § 84)
Therefore Husserl say his famous words: “consciousness exists only as consciousness of something”, and we could complete that something exists only if it is lived experience of someone.
So is this intentional consciousness that makes the world appear as evident and no more conscious (in the conventional sense), so it is not set as a definite, but put us on the horizon in the world of life, that is the phenomenological attitude.
