Abstract

When I came in, Husserl was telling Fink how, when one has attained the phenomenological Einstellung 〈attitude〉, the phrase "I was in the natural Einstellung" has a totally different sense than it would have were it possible to be said in the natural Einstellung. Furthermore when one has once attained the phenomenological Einstellung, one can never fall back completely into the natural Einstellung.
