Key Claims
Edmund Husserl established phenomenology by introducing the epoché (bracketing the natural attitude). Through phenomenological reduction, consciousness reveals its foundational structure: Intentionality (all consciousness is consciousness of something), uniting the act of thinking (noesis) with the objective meaning (noema).
