Resumen de Gestalt and intentionality in Goldstein's organismic theory
The present study seeks to investigate what in Goldstein's organismic theory can bring the Gestalt notion, proposed by the Psychologists of Form, closer to the notion of intentionality, as Merleau-Ponty reads it. It is about understanding how, insofar as it reveals the power of centering that operates in the concreteness of the existence of organisms in the surroundings, the notion of figure-background corresponds to the phenomenological notion of operative intentionality. In the same way, it is a matter of showing in what sense, as a form of operative intentionality, the power of centering of organisms does not need to be based on the presupposition of an “I think”.
