Presentational character, feeling of presence and presentification: Affinities and differences between imaginative and perceptual experiences

Perceptual experiences and imaginative experiences phenomenally are both similar and dissimilar. They are phenomenally similar in that they may share their presentational character: namely, certain of their own properties in their feature of presenting worldly properties. Yet they are phenomenally dissimilar insofar as their mode is respectively constituted by a feeling of presence towards their objects and by presentification, which is a make-believe neutralizing modification of that feeling. Since mode counts for the metaphysical individuation of a mental state, then perceptual and imaginative experiences characterize metaphysically different kinds of such states.
