Single Idea 22205
[filed under theme 12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 2. Self-Evidence
]
Full Idea
So-called feelings of self-evidence, of intellectual necessity, and however they may otherwise be called, are just theoretically invented feelings.
Gist of Idea
Feelings of self-evidence (and necessity) are just the inventions of theory
Source
Edmund Husserl (Ideas: intro to pure phenomenology [1913], I.2.021)
Book Ref
Husserl,Edmund: 'Ideas: general introduction to pure phenomenology', ed/tr. Boyce Gibson,W [Routledge 2012], p.39
A Reaction
This seems to be a dismissal of the a priori necessary on the grounds that it is 'theory-laden' - which is why it has to be bracketed in order to do phenomenology.
