L'image ou le réel sans profondeur. Considérations phénoménologiques sur la superficialité de l'imagination (Husserl, Sartre, Henry) = The image or the film without depth. Phenomenological considerations on the superficiality of the imagination (Husserl, Sartre, Henry)

The role of imagination seems an act of consciousness that neutralizes the existence of things it encounters. Unlike perception, it creates free experiences. It shows things without positioning them in the space or engaging the spatiotemporal position of our body. This paper aims to demonstrate how the neutralization of existence regarding things in imagination, due to the suspension of reality, creates a different form of depth. Not only the perceived form, but also the experienced one. Through the phenomenology of imagination, we can reach a reconsideration of the phenomenological dualism discussing the monism proposal. There is in fact a link between the two, that is, the superficiality of the image and the absoluteness of subjective life.
