The article addresses Husserl?s concept(s) of intentionality, focused on act-intentionality and stream-intentionality. First, I will present intentionality as a feature of acts of being directed towards objects, following the model of perception. Second, I will outline Husserl?s redefinition of intentionality for encompassing new phenomena. Third, I will focus on the phenomenology of time in order to analyze the intentionality of the absolute flow as a form of intentionality which cannot be defined in terms of the relation to an object. My goal will be to answer the questions how intentionality can be understood at the level of the flow and whether there is for Husserl one single concept of intentionality.
