Clarification
Clarification
(Ger. Klrung, Aufklrung) In HusserlSynthesis of identification, in which the noematic sense is given less clearly in an earlier than in a later intending. The course of potential clarification is predelineated horizonally for every element of sense that is either intended emptily or experienced with less than optimal clarity. The horizonal experiencings in which “the same” would be given more clearly are explicable in phantasy. Thus, the essential dimensions and the range of indeterminacy of the object (and its essential possibility or impossibility) as intended can be grasped in evidence. This is clarification in the usual sense. On the other hand, potential experiencings of “the same” may be made actual rather than fictively actual (phantasied) — in which case, the synthesis of clarification is a synthesis of fulfilment. See Fulfilment. — D.C.
