he radical viewpoint of phenomenology is presented by T 3 Edmund
Husser! in his Ideas. This viewpoint seems quite simple at first,
but becomes exceedingly complex and involves intricate distinctions
when attempts are made to apply it to actual problems. Therefore,
it may be well to attempt a short statement of this position in
order to note the general problems with which it is dealing as well
as the method of solution which it proposes. I shall emphasize the
elements of phenomenology which seem most relevant to E. Stein's
work. Husser! deals with two traditional philosophical questions,
and in answering them, develops the method of phenomenological
reduction which he maintains is the basis of all science. These
questions are, "What is it that can be known without doubt?" and
"How is this knowledge possible in the most general sense?" In the
tradition of idealism he takes consciousness as the area to be
investigated. He posits nothing about the natural world. He puts it
in "brackets," as a portion of an algebraic formula is put in
brackets, and makes no use of the material within these brackets.
This does not mean that the "real" wor!d does not exist, he says
emphatically; it only means that this existence is a presupposition
must be suspended to achieve pure description.
