This theory,silently and uncritically presupposed, underlies the whole of Husserl's transcenden tal phenomenology,rendering it to this extent unphenomenological,as it also rendered uncritical the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant.'

He analyzes the processes which the mind would have to carry out in transforming a manifold of sensations into orderly ex-perience and knowledge of an empirical world, and discus.
