"We would be in a nasty position indeed if empirical science were the only kind of science possible." ― Edmund Husserl Topic(s): Science More From 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." "Experience by itself is not science." "To begin with, we put the proposition: pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness."

Failure, you learned, as I did in art school, to be a wonderful thing. It allowed you to get up in the morning and take the pillow off your head."― Malcolm Mclaren
