All Consciousness Is Consciousness Of Something

To Begin With, We Put The Proposition: Pure Phenomenology Is The Science Of Pure Consciousness.

What Is Thematically Posited Is Only What Is Given, By Pure Reflection, With All Its Immanent Essential Moments Absolutely As It Is Given To Pure Reflection.

If All Consciousness Is Subject To Essential Laws In A Manner Similar To That In Which Spatial Reality Is Subject To Mathematical Laws, Then These Essential Laws Will Be Of Most Fertile Significance In Investigating Facts Of The Conscious Life Of Human And Brute Animals.

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.

Natural Objects, For Example, Must Be Experienced Before Any Theorizing About Them Can Occur.
