| | | | |
| | + | Edmund Husserl is probably most well known as the father of [[phenomenology]]. Phenomenology, in Husserl's conception, is primarily concerned with the systematic reflection on and analysis of the structures of consciousness, and the phenomena which appear in acts of consciousness. Such reflection was to take place from a highly modified "first person" viewpoint, studying phenomena not as they appear to "my" consciousness, but to any consciousness whatsoever. Husserl believed that phenomenology could thus provide a firm basis for all human knowledge, including scientific knowledge, and could establish philosophy as a "rigorous science" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy)] |

| - | Edmund Gustav Albrecht Husserl (Prossnitz, 8 april 1859 - Freiburg im Breisgau, 26 april 1938) was een Joods-Oostenrijks-Duitse filosoof en wordt beschouwd als de grondlegger van de fenomenologie, een tak van de ontologie. De fenomenologie (phaenomenon is het Griekse woord voor het verschijnende) is de leer van de verschijnselen.[http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Husserl] | + | The term that Edmund Husserl uses for this 'firm basis for all human knowledge 'is: [[Life world]]. |
| | + | In other words: In order to find the universal horizon common to all humanity we must be objective. But because we are subjective beings we can't be objective. However, when we compare different subjective meaning of people we might find a Life world, universal horizon common to all humanity.[4]Edmund Husserl, framed his inquiries very much as a reflection upon the dominant natural attitude in which scientific positivistic researchers ignored the question of their own involvement in the research process (Cloke et all(1991). Husserl conceived his project as both a philosophical science and a radical reflection on the foundations of all other sciences (Cloke et all, 1991). In his view humanistic geographers must use the drew of his phenomenology to get the true essences of the object under study. The researcher should be reintroduced into the geographical research process. |

Edmund Gustav Albrecht Husserl (German pronunciation: [ˈhʊsɛʁl]; April 8, 1859, Prostějov, Moravia, Austrian Empire – April 26, 1938, Freiburg, Germany) was a mathematician and philosopher who is deemed the founder of phenomenology. He broke with the positivist (Positivism)orientation of the science and philosophy of his day, believing that experience is the source of all knowledge, while at the same time he elaborated critiques of psychologism and historicism.[2]His First work (philosophy of arithmetic) appeared in 1891. In this work Husserls combined his mathematical, psychological and philosphical competencies to attempt a psychological foundation of arithmetic[3].In 1900 he published his first phenomenological work.
The term that Edmund Husserl uses for this 'firm basis for all human knowledge 'is: Life world.
In other words: In order to find the universal horizon common to all humanity we must be objective. But because we are subjective beings we can't be objective. However, when we compare different subjective meaning of people we might find a Life world, universal horizon common to all humanity.[4]Edmund Husserl, framed his inquiries very much as a reflection upon the dominant natural attitude in which scientific positivistic researchers ignored the question of their own involvement in the research process (Cloke et all(1991). Husserl conceived his project as both a philosophical science and a radical reflection on the foundations of all other sciences (Cloke et all, 1991). In his view humanistic geographers must use the drew of his phenomenology to get the true essences of the object under study. The researcher should be reintroduced into the geographical research process.
Phenomonelogy is still important in modern day science. The main reason of this is the fact that, because of the influence of phenomonelogy, rationalism and empiricism have derived. (Husserl, 1970)
