To begin with, we put the proposition: pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness.

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.

Natural objects, for example, must be experienced before any theorizing about them can occur.

To every object there correspond an ideally closed system of truths that are true of it and, on the other hand, an ideal system of possible cognitive processes by virtue of which the object and the truths about it would be given to any cognitive subject.

All perception is a gamble.

Within this widest concept of object, and specifically within the concept of individual object, Objects and phenomena stand in contrast with each other.

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.
