INTRODUCTION
Edmund Gustav Albrecht Husserl (German: [ˈhʊsɐl]; April 8, 1859 – April 27, 1938) was a German philosopher who established the school of phenomenology. He broke with the positivist orientation of the science and philosophy of his day. He elaborated critiques of historicism and of psychologism in logic. Not limited to empiricism, but believing that experience is the source of all knowledge, he worked on a method of phenomenological reduction by which a subject may come to know directly an essence.
Although born into a Jewish family, Husserl was baptized as a Lutheran in 1886. He studied mathematics under Karl Weierstrass and Leo Königsberger, and philosophy under Franz Brentano and Carl Stumpf. Husserl himself taught philosophy as a Privatdozent at Halle from 1887, then as professor, first at Göttingen from 1901, then at Freiburg from 1916 until he retired in 1928. Thereafter he gave two notable lectures: at Paris in 1929, and at Prague in 1935. The notorious 1933 race laws of the Nazi regime took

    Famous thinkers can come from all walks of life and can be from our generation and others. Reaching goals can be done in many ways. The similarity famous thinkers is that they are all share creative minds and are all creative thinkers. Creative ideas are the foundation of creative process (Goodman & Fritchie, 2011).

    As a survivor of the inhumane, annihilating Holocaust, Elie Wiesel once said, “Having survived by chance, I was duty–bound to give meaning to my survival.”(“Having Survived”1). Elie Wiesel did not know at the time that he had a reason for surviving this tragedy, but soon realized that he survived to offer a story and message about the horrors of that time to a world that often seemed to block it out completely and forget (“Having Survived”1).To spread his message to the world, which is one of peace, redemption, and human nobleness, Wiesel speaks all over the world as a public orator. (“Elie Wiesel” 3). Elie Wiesel, an influential speaker and writer of the 1940s to present times, helped to render a further understanding of the abomination of The Holocaust through eloquence and deep thought, elaborate actions, and most of all, his strong traditional values.…

    “You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind” (Gandhi). Gandhi talks about how when one is faced with incredible pain and suffering, their mind will also have freedom. In the memoir, Night, written by Elie Wiesel, the author and many millions of other victims, were presented with this very dilemma of trying to retain their individual thoughts despite everything they were facing. Throughout his memoir, Elie Wiesel uses memories of when he was faced with the pressures of extreme hunger and his experience with witnessing death to convey his struggle to maintain his humanity.…

    T.M. Luhrmann wrote “Of Two Minds: The Growing Disorder in American Psychiatry” as an anthropological study focusing on the psychiatric world of the United States. In it, she argues that the psychiatric field has split into “two minds” – biological and psychodynamic. Luhrmann compares two models of mental disorders, describing diagnosis and psychopharmacology psychiatry against a psychodynamic psychotherapy specialization. Matthew Ratcliffe’s article “Understanding Existential Changes in Psychiatric Illness” details the theory of existential phenomenology and how that idea contributes to the field of psychiatry. As a result, Luhrmann provides a comparison of the psychodynamic model and biomedical models of psychiatry, which are similar…

    In this section Husserl compares the progressive perceptual process of an immanent object with that of a transcendent (i.e. spatial object), with special interest towards the Now phase of perception. He quickly points out that immanent objects only have ". . . one possible way to be given in the original in every Now . . ." which means during the duration of an experience of an immanent object, a color for example, the object is completely determined and the distinction between appearing and what appears is collapsed(ACPAC553). The reverse is true in the case of external perceptions of transcendent objects. As Husserl states, ". . . the spatial object has infinitely many ways [to be given in the original] since it can appear in the Now, that is, in an original way from its different sides" (ACPAC553). This means a spatial object must necessarily appear from a side however, that side itself, which makes up the genuine content of the Now phase of perception, does not constitute the entire object. The sides exhibited point beyond themselves to other sides which remain as unfulfilled intentions of consciousness until in a new Now phase, in tandem with kinesthetic movements, these other intended determinations are fulfilled only to bring forth new empty intentions as part of, what Husserl calls, "empty horizons".…

    MDCCCLXVIII PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. This book makes no pretence of giving to the world a new theory of the intellectual operations. Its claim to attention, if it possess any, is grounded on the fact that it is an attempt not to supersede, but to embody and systematize, the best ideas which have been either promulgated on its subject by speculative writers, or conformed to by accurate thinkers in their scientific inquiries. To cement together the detached fragments of a subject, never yet treated as a whole; to harmonize the true portions of discordant theories, by supplying the links of thought…
