 Similarly, though strictly speaking the intentionalist must reject Direct Realist Character, the departure from this is not too radical. For instead, the intentionalist holds that the character of experience is determined, at least partly, by the direct perceptual representation of ordinary objects. It is not as if ordinary objects and their apparent presence drops out of the picture on the intentionalist account of phenomenal character. The account is similar to Direct Realist Character, just stripped of the genuine relationality.
