Gaston Berger, Husserl et Hume

Aron Gurwitsch

pp. 449-451

That which has rendered Husserl's name famous, especially among those persons who have devoted the studies necessary to afford a thorough comprehension of it, is Husserl's assertion that we possess an immediate knowledge of, and a direct access to, essences. This "intuition of essences," however, is nothing other than a heading for a theory of abstraction which Husserl opposes to those theories advanced by the empiricist philosophers, and which he has laid down in explicit criticism of these theories, particularly that of Hume.
