A New Approach

• Phenomenology is not so much an answer as it is a
  new approach to philosophical problems.

3
Phenomenology

• Phenomenology focused its attention on being
  itself, on the lived world of human experience,
  on its unceasing ambiguity, its ever-deepening
  complexity.

4
Phenomenological Reduction

• This method brackets experience and describes it
  while suspending all presuppositions and
  assumptions normally made about the experience.

5
What is Consciousness?

• It is this intentionality that distinguishes
  consciousness from everything else in the
  universe.

6
Pure Phenomenology

• Husserl thinks that radical reflection and
  radical questioning are necessary for beginning
  philosophy and entering into what he calls pure
  of transcendental phenomenology.

7
What Is The Self?

• The self, the mental individual from which all
  mental acts issue, is only presented to us
  indirectly, like a perceptual object.

8
Intersubjectivity

• If the East is ahead in consciousness studies,
  then the West is ahead in intersubjective
  studies. From an integral perspective we need
  both.

9
Philosophy to Contemplation

• By deeply, profoundly, inquiring into the
  Witness of all knowledge, this specific
  philosophical inquiry opens up onto contemplative
  awareness.
