Single Idea 22217

[filed under theme 1. Philosophy / H. Continental Philosophy / 2. Phenomenology ]

Full Idea

Husserl's goal is to account for the validity, the 'being-true', of objects on the basis of the way in which they are given or constituted. ...Experiences more suitable for guaranteeing objects are those which both intend and intuitively apprehend them.
