Keywords: image; Valéry; functionalism; pragmatism; science;
Summary/Abstract: Valéry’s functionalist psychology does not aim to grasp the essence of mental images, but to describe their functioning. The values and functions he attributes to these images respond to varying needs. Their reason for being and the why of their non-being emanate from this same principle.
