 Reinach’s line of argument suggests that presentations and meaning acts are directed to objects and states of affairs in two radically different ways: if these acts were directed towards their correlate in the same way, they would share the same essence and, thus, they could fuse. To put this differently, the “of-ness” of presentations does not coincide with the intentionality of intentions or meaning acts. This distinction is terminologically fixed by Conrad, who in his 1911 essay, Perception and Presentation (An Essential Comparison), further explores Reinach’s view and reserves the expression “Intentionalität” to the directedness of meaning acts (1911: 64 fn) while qualifying presentations as the consciousness of an object or of a thing.
