7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 3. Reality

22202	The World is all experiencable objects [Husserl]
	Full Idea: The World is the totality of objects that can be known through experience.
	From: Edmund Husserl (Ideas: intro to pure phenomenology [1913], I.1.001)
	A reaction: I think this is the 'Nature' which has to be 'bracketed', when pursuing Phenomenology. It sounds like anti-realist empiricism, which has no place for unobservables.

7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 4. Anti-realism

22213	Absolute reality is an absurdity [Husserl]
	Full Idea: An absolute reality is just as valid as a round square.
	From: Edmund Husserl (Ideas: intro to pure phenomenology [1913], II.3.055)
	A reaction: Husserl distances himself from 'Berkeleyian' idealism, but his discussion keeps flirting with, perhaps in some sort of have-your-cake-and-eat-it Hegelian way. Perhaps it is close to Dummett's Anti-Realism.
