According to Tim Crane, his theory on intentional objects can be understood as a phenomenology inasmuch as it is a theory of apparences. In this paper, I analiyze whether this statement is correct. Although abolishing ontological commitments leads to a non-standard type of Meinongism, I believe that Crane’s theory does not necessarily lead to a phenomenology. First, I will analize some of its main concepts such as intentionality, representation and intentional object. Then, I will present in a very general way the meaning that these concepts have in the tradition of the act-object psychology started by Brentano.
