Edmund Husserl also said...


I cannot live, experience, think, value, and act in any world which is not in some sense in me, and derives its meaning and truth from me.





Experience by itself is not science.





A new fundamental science, pure phenomenology, has developed within philosophy: This is a science of a thoroughly new type and endless scope. It is inferior in methodological rigor to none of the modern sciences. All philosophical disciplines are rooted in pure phenomenology, through whose development, and through it alone, they obtain their proper force.
