"To begin with, we put the proposition: pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness." ― Edmund Husserl Topic(s): Science More From 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." More In Science "I’m an amateur science enthusiast. I’m not even a professional enthusiast. I don’t know anything; I never even passed biology in high school. But I read the science section of the newspaper."― Dave Eggers "In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature, the oldest. The classic literature is always modern."― Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton "I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess."― Martin Luther
