I must achieve internal consistency.
Edmund HusserlRead
Psychologically experienced consciousness is therefore no longer pure consciousness; construed Objectively in this way, consciousness itself becomes something transcendent, becomes an event in that spatial world which appears, by virtue of consciousness, to be transcendent.
Interpretation
What this quote means
This quote explores the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the external world.
Edmund Husserl delves into the complexities of consciousness, suggesting that it is not merely a pure state of awareness but is inherently tied to the world we perceive. He posits that as we experience consciousness, it transforms into a transcendent event, with our awareness shaping our understanding of reality and existence in a spatial context.

It is an impressively arrogant move to conclude that just because you don’t like something, it is empirically not good. I don’t like Chinese food, but I don’t write articles trying to prove it doesn’t exist.
