referenceIn the German and European sphere, interest in the larger structure of experience led to the development of phenomenology, which expanded the study of consciousness into social, bodily, and interpersonal realms through the work of Edmund Husserl (1913, 1929), Martin Heidegger (1927), and Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1945).
referenceEdmund Husserl argued in 1913 that sequences of experience are constrained and enabled by the global structure of links and limits embodied in their underlying prior organization.
claimEdmund Husserl (1929) posits that articulating the structure of the phenomenal domain requires a difficult process of inference and model building because much of the structure is only implicit in the organization of experience and cannot be accessed solely through introspection.
referenceEdmund Husserl (1929) and Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1945) established that discovering the structure of conscious experience requires a rigorous inner-directed stance that is distinct from everyday self-awareness.
claimImmanuel Kant (1787) and Edmund Husserl (1929) argued that the intentional coherence of the experiential domain relies on a dual interdependence between the self as a perspective and the world as an integrated structure of objects and events.
referenceEdmund Husserl (1913) asserts that the epistemic task of gathering data on consciousness is not trivial, contradicting the naive view that facts of consciousness are self-evident.
referenceImmanuel Kant (1787) and Edmund Husserl (1913) argue that individual conscious experience depends on its location within a larger unified structure of representation, which includes awareness of one's existence as a temporally extended observer within a world of spatially connected objects.
claimImmanuel Kant (1787), Edmund Husserl (1913), and subsequent phenomenologists demonstrated that the phenomenal structure of experience is intentional and includes complex representations of time, space, cause, body, self, and the world.
