In this paper I shall attempt to point out the dynamic and composite nature of the meaning fulfilment in Husserl’s Sixth Logical Investigation with particular regard to the reflective attitude that seems to be involved in expressive acts. The bearing of meaning implicitly points to a recognition of the acts of expression in their specific character and disposition, in order to find their proper expressive form. Although in the Sixth Investigation it remains uncertain whether this reflexive achievement represents a character of the expressive acts themselves, Husserl’s attempts to provide a revision of the text indicate a more complicated, not solely dualistic, relationship. I suggest here that the specific intentionality of feeling plays an important role in mediating between meaning-intention and meaning fulfilment.
