Passages from Husserl's Ideas for the Class on §§15 & 16
I am conscious of a world endlessly spread out in space, endlessly becoming and having endlessly become in time. I am conscious of it: that signifies, above all, that intuitively I find it immediately, that I experience it. By my seeing, touching, hearing, and so forth, and in the different modes of sensuous perception, corporeal physical things with some spatial distribution or other are simply there for me, “on hand” [vorhanden] in the literal or the figurative sense, whether or not I am particularly heedful of them and busied with them in my considering, thinking, feeling, or willing. … Moreover, this world is there for me not only as a world of mere things, but also with the same immediacy as a world of objects with values, a world of goods, a practical world. [pp. 53 & 55]
I always find myself as someone who is perceiving, objectivating in memory or in phantasy, thinking, feeling, desiring, etc.; and I find myself actively related in these activities for the most part to the actuality continually surrounding me. [p. 54]
