This assignment mimics the tripartite temporal structure of experience in a network architecture.
Kant seems to have thought that he could deduce the conceptual structure of experience from the components of the Aristotelian system.
This integrative role or value is most directly associated with access consciousness, but also clearly with the larger phenomenal and intentional structure of experience.
Such qualia are sometimes referred to as phenomenal properties and the associated sort of consciousness as phenomenal consciousness, but the latter term is perhaps more properly applied to the overall structure of experience and involves far more than sensory qualia.
The retentional structure of experience, that is, the fact that when I am experiencing something, each passing moment of consciousness does not simply disappear at the next moment but is kept in intentional currency, constitutes a coherency that stretches over an experienced temporal duration.
As Kant (1787), Husserl (1913), and generations of phenomenologists have shown, the phenomenal structure of experience is richly intentional and involves not only sensory ideas and qualities but complex representations of time, space, cause, body, self, world and the organized structure of lived reality in all its conceptual and nonconceptual forms.
In short, Brentano's distinction between primary and secondary consciousness "introduces some kind of level-distinction into the structure of experience" (Brandl 2013, 61) but does not conceive of higher-perception as a full-fledged mental phenomenon at its own, which is why Brandl has recently proposed to regard it a 'one-and-a-half-level theory' (Brandl 2013, 61f).
Here we will employ an emphasis on the structure of experience and consciousness centered on gaining knowledge and changing behavior.
This tendency might have influenced the emergence of metaphorical linguistics, thinking via image schema, an embodied pre-linguistic structure of experience that motivates conceptual metaphor mappings (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980a).
In this way, in the practice of phenomenology, we classify, describe, interpret, and analyze structures of experiences in ways that answer to our own experience.
