Edmund Husserl German Quotations

A new fundamental science, pure phenomenology, has developed within philosophy: This is a science of a thoroughly new type and endless scope.

Psychology, on the other hand, is science of psychic Nature and, therefore, of consciousness as Nature or as real event in the spatiotemporal world.

Something similar is still true of the courses followed by manifold intuitions which together make up the unity of one continuous consciousness of one and the same object.

The actuality of all of material Nature is therefore kept out of action and that of all corporeality along with it, including the actuality of my body, the body of the cognizing subject.

At the lowest cognitive level, they are processes of experiencing, or, to speak more generally, processes of intuiting that grasp the object in the original.

What phenomenology wants, in all these investigations, is to establish what admits of being stated with the universal validity of theory.

So far as their own phenomenal content is concerned, they do not suffer in any way when believing in Objective actuality is put out of play.

All philosophical disciplines are rooted in pure phenomenology, through whose development, and through it alone, they obtain their proper force.

Immanent and transcendent experience are nevertheless connected in a remarkable way: by a change in attitude, we can pass from the one to the other.
