To begin with, we put the proposition: pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness.
Edmund Husserl
To every object there correspond an ideally closed system of truths that are true of it and, on the other hand, an ideal system of possible cognitive processes by virtue of which the object and the truths about it would be given to any cognitive subject.
Edmund Husserl
Within this widest concept of object, and specifically within the concept of individual object, Objects and phenomena stand in contrast with each other.

Philosophers, as things now stand, are all too fond of offering criticism from on high instead of studying and understanding things from within.

Edmund Husserl
We would be in a nasty position indeed if empirical science were the only kind of science possible.
Edmund Husserl
Pure phenomenology claims to be the science of pure phenomena. This concept of the phenomenon, which was developed under various names as early as the eighteenth century without being clarified, is what we shall have to deal with first of all.
Edmund Husserl

Edmund Husserl

Natural objects, for example, must be experienced before any theorizing about them can occur.
Edmund Husserl
In all the areas within which the spiritual life of humanity is at work, the historical epoch wherein fate has placed us is an epoch of stupendous happenings.
Philosophy as science, as serious, rigorous, indeed apodictically rigorous science -- the dream is over.
Edmund Husserl
If all consciousness is subject to essential laws in a manner similar to that in which spatial reality is subject to mathematical laws, then these essential laws will be of most fertile significance in investigating facts of the conscious life of human and brute animals.
What is thematically posited is only what is given, by pure reflection, with all its immanent essential moments absolutely as it is given to pure reflection.
Edmund Husserl
Psychologically experienced consciousness is therefore no longer pure consciousness; construed Objectively in this way, consciousness itself becomes something transcendent, becomes an event in that spatial world which appears, by virtue of consciousness, to be transcendent.
Edmund Husserl
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.
Edmund Husserl
In a few decades of reconstruction, even the mathematical natural sciences, the ancient archetypes of theoretical perfection, have changed habit completely!
