Edmund Husserl Quotes on Knowledge
Husserl's Logical Investigations (1900–01), Ideas (1913), and the late Crisis of European Sciences (1936) develop the phenomenological program: a rigorous descriptive science of the structures of consciousness as they are given in lived experience, prior to any theoretical commitment to the natural-scientific or commonsense ontology of the world. The phenomenological reduction (epochē) brackets the natural attitude and turns attention to the intentional structure through which consciousness is always consciousness of something. Husserl's framework defined twentieth-century continental philosophy and supplied the starting point Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, and Levinas would each transform in distinctive ways.

“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.”
