Mark and Wes read through and discuss Edmund Husserl’s Ideas (1913), ch. 1, “Matter of Fact and Essence” in First Book, “General Introduction to a Pure Phenomenology,” Part One, “Essence and Eidetic Cognition.”
This is the book that basically designed phenomenology as a movement, and this part of the reading lays some groundwork by describing what these “essences” that phenomenology studies are, and how they differ from matters of fact.
Read along with us, starting on p. 5 (PDF p. 14).
You can watch this on unedited video.
