15. Nature of Minds / B. Features of Minds / 1. Consciousness / b. Essence of consciousness

22212	Pure consciousness is a sealed off system of actual Being [Husserl]
	Full Idea: Consciousness, considered in its 'purity', must be reckoned as a self-contained system of Being, a system of actual Being, into which nothing can penetrate, and from which nothing can escape.
	From: Edmund Husserl (Ideas: intro to pure phenomenology [1913], II.3.049)
	A reaction: Recorded without comment, to show that among phenomenologists there is a way of thinking about consciousness which is a long way from analytic discussions of the topic.
