Edmund Husserl on Phenomenology - Dictionary of Arguments

Gadamer I 249
Phenomenology/Husserl/Gadamer: "...meaning-intention and meaning-fulfillment belong essentially to the unity of meaning, and like the meanings of the words we use, every being that is valid for me has correlatively and in essential necessity an "ideal generality of the real and possible experiencing modes of being"(1).
Gadamer: thus the idea of "phenomenology", i.e. the elimination of all "setting-a-being" and the investigation of the subjective modes of being, was won and became a universal work program, which basically had to make all objectivity, all sense of being comprehensible.
>Meaning/Husserl
.
Subjectivity/Husserl: human subjectivity now also possesses the validity of being. It is therefore to be regarded as well, i.e. it is also to be investigated in the diversity of its modes of being. Such research of the I as a phenomenon is not "inner perception" of a real I, but it is also not mere reconstruction of the i.e. relation of the contents of consciousness to a transcendental pole of the I (I-pole, Natorp)(2) but it is a highly differentiated subject of transcendental reflection.
Compared to the mere givenness of phenomena of representational consciousness, a givenness in intentional experiences, this reflection represents the growth of a new dimension of research. For there is also givenness which is not itself the object of intentional acts. Every experience has implied horizons of before and after and finally merges with the continuum of experiences present in before and after to the unity of the stream of experience.
>Stream of consciousness/HUsserl, >Horizon/Husserl.
