“ I had to philosophize. Otherwise, I could not live in this world. ”
To begin with, we put the proposition: pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness.
~ Edmund Husserl
Experience by itself is not science.
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.
We would be in a nasty position indeed if empirical science were the only kind of science possible.
