Practical and Theoretical Character of Intentionality in Phenomenology

In the framework of phenomenology as a specific eidetic discipline, the problem of the correlation of theoretical and practical aspects requires its solution. The paper focuses on the validity of interpretation of intentionality as a practical intentionality, proposed by Nam-In Lee. Practical intentionality, according to Nam-In Lee, consists only of willing
intentions, which can only be realized through practice. I try to subject this interpretation of intentionality to doubt, indicating that intentionality as a cardinal property of consciousness is: 1) a moderator of rational and
irrational (sense data); 2) a pre-subjective homogeneous source of all kinds of intentions (both willing and theoretical).
