All consciousness is consciousness of something

Philosophy as science, as serious, rigorous, indeed apodictically rigorous science -- the dream is over.

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.

Merely fact-minded sciences make merely fact-minded people.

Philosophers, as things now stand, are all too fond of offering criticism from on high instead of studying and understanding things from within.

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.

The ideal of a pure phenomenology will be perfected only by answering this question; pure phenomenology is to be separated sharply from psychology at large and, specifically, from the descriptive psychology of the phenomena of consciousness.
