Resumen de Brentano on Phenomenal Unity and Holism

Barry Dainton

• In order to defend the Brentanian claim of phenomenal holism, i.e. the unity of the various simultaneous mental acts, two possible options are considered: the first draws on the notion of phenomenal interdependence, but, upon examination, proves inconsistent; the second, starting from internal perception and according to which the latter allows the representation of the unified global whole to be a part of the phenomenal character of each of the individual representations, strengthens on two counts the Brentanian claim of phenomenal holism.
