I must achieve internal consistency.
Edmund HusserlRead
It just is nothing foreign to consciousness at all that could present itself to consciousness through the mediation of phenomena different from the liking itself; to like is intrinsically to be conscious.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote expresses that our consciousness and the act of liking are fundamentally intertwined and cannot be separated from our perception of phenomena.
Edmund Husserl emphasizes the intrinsic connection between consciousness and the act of liking. He suggests that to like something is not just a passive experience but an active engagement of consciousness that is inherently linked to how phenomena are presented to us. In this view, our preferences and states of liking arise from a profound relationship between our perception and our conscious experience, underscoring the importance of intentionality in understanding our interactions with the world.
