“…Mathematical Category Theory (CT) provides a rigorous framework in developing this unification step because it deals with relational structures (relational categories) underpinning the predicative ones. Following the direction suggested in previous studies [25][26][27][28][29], I will show that CT is that new mathematical theory which "may offer possibilities previously not available for a formalization of consciousness" [6]. However, in my proposal phenomenology is not stricto sensu naturalized because it preserves both the descriptive and transcendental perspective.…”

“…Previously, it had been even contrasted with essential relations [42,37]. However, in general, differently from Husserl's semiological view according to which "sign" is a conceptual object consisting in a signifier (the name of sign or the "sign-vehicle") and a signified (the referred meaning), 6 Scheler doesn't reduce sign relations to conscious awareness. He focuses, instead, on semiotic triadic relations: the vehicular function of the sign generates the reference of a qualitative ground (first) to correlates (second) and an interpreting act or relation (third).…”

Accordingly, in his opinion, selection provides a relational ontology, wherein the identification of the object belonging to the actual 6 As recently demonstrated, Husserl's view on sign is strongly influenced by the semiology not only of his teacher Franz Brentano, but also of Leibniz through Trendelenburg's interpretation of his characteristica [81]. predication domain of the essence occurs locally via signification processes that "break" the transcendental unity of the essence.…”

“…This leads to the underlying question of the possibility of constructing and/or confirming scientific theories that explain also "phenomenological data", i.e., contents of (self-) conscious lived experiences described by phenomenology. References [6,7] provide an updated overview of the contemporary attempts to naturalize phenomenology, questioning Husserl's descriptive and transcendental stance. My suggestion will try to implement what was envisaged by eminent scholars [8][9][10]: namely, the idea that a contemporary "broader conception of phenomenology" relies on the resolution of both methodological and theoretical contrasts between the naturalized and transcendental phenomenology, which have been weakening the contribution of the discipline with respect to the contemporary scientific scenario.…”

This paper focuses on the topic of intentionality, which is the power of the mind to be directed towards some object or state of affairs. Intentionality structures the (inter) subjective side of experience, traditionally explored by Edmund Husserl's phenomenology. I intend to introduce the basics of a semiotic interpretation of phenomenological intentionality with the undertaking of realistically grounding it, going beyond the alternative approaches of Modern transcendentalism and the contemporary trend to re-orient phenomenology naturalistically excluding the foundational perspective. This is possible in virtue of a relational reading of phenomenological ontology, where the theoretical core is the following: a sign-driven synthesis of the object, occurring within the onto-logical sphere of the signification processes (semeiosis), and hence outside the epistemological sphere of the subjective self-consciousness. Based on a fragmentary suggestion detectable in the early phenomenological work of the German phenomenologist Max Scheler, the proposed interpretation aims at strengthening the traditional (inter) subjective approach of phenomenology to the categorial study with the "in the third person" objective approach distinctive of semiotics, sharing in principle with the former a common pre-logical and hence ante-predicative level of enquiry. Mathematical Category Theory provides a rigorous framework in developing this unification step, because it deals with relational structures (relational categories) underpinning the predicative ones.

“…It was revisited in the empirical and descriptive psychology of Brentano and related to Husser’s approach, which remained essentially theoretical without true contacts with science (cf. Albertazzi, 2018). Since Brentano introduced the idea of visual phenomena ( Vorstellungen ) as psychic energy and intentional reference, Stumpf and Meinong opened the productive season of experimental research within Berlin and Graz schools of Gestalt psychology.…”
