APPRESENTATION.

1. Appresentation is the “presentation” that accompanies a presentation. Within the momentary phase of an experience, only the moment of primal impressional directly presents its object or, more precisely, a particular aspect of the object. However, one is also aware in the same experience of other aspects of the directly presented object and of other, related objects as the horizon of what is directly presented. This horizonal, appresentational awareness is made possible by two other moments of the momentary phase, namely, retention and protention. Appresentation, then, is the experiencing, the “re-presenting,” or “making present” of the not directly presented.

2. “Appresentation” can also refer to what is appresented. Whereas the directly experienced aspect is presented, the not directly presented aspects are appresented. See also APPERCEPTION; INTUITION; PERCEPTION (Perzeption); PERCEPTION (Wahrnehmung).
