Edmund Husserl

“The world is not a mere sum of things.”

“All perception is a gamble.”

“To the things themselves!”

“Consciousness is consciousness of something.”

“Experience is the source of knowledge.”

“The goal is not to explain the world, but to see it.”

“To begin with, we must put out of action all the convictions we have been carrying along with us, even our scientific convictions.”

“Pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness.”

“Philosophy as a science, a universal science, should be grounded in a universal self-evidence.”

“Time is not a container in which events happen, but the form of our inner sense.”

“The 'I' is not a thing, a substance, or a part of the world.”

“The life of the spirit is not a bare succession of events, but a unity of meaning.”
