The aesthetic role of phantasy is only one of its functions, which is examined in the transcendental analysis of pure consciousness. Husserl in his analyses compares imagination and phantasy. Therefore, he avoids the traditional notion of imagination, <em>Einbildungskraft</em>, and uses the term <em>Phantasie</em> instead. A new understanding of the mediating role of the image in the perceptual and re-presentational structures of consciousness can enable this difference. Husserl has never developed aesthetic theory systemically, although through a new transcendental-phenomenological position, he has shown a special place of aesthetic reflection in the structure of consciousness. He emphasize that <em>phantasy apprehension</em> is different from <em>perceptual</em> and <em>representational modes of consciousness</em>, which opens a new field for aesthetic as a free regime. This enables the traditional idea of dialectics to evolve in a new direction and builds a methodological foundation for a structuralism analysis of the phenomenon of image and body.</p> ER -
