I have three concurrent concerns in this paper. The first is to display a picturable model of some of the main features of phenomenological method. I wish in this case to clarify some of the complexities and implications of a phenomenological procedure for a philosophical context often more Anglophilic and Europophobic than not. But on the way to this end I wish also to begin the sketch of what I hope will become a considered re-interpretation of phenomenological history. I wish to differentiate two distinguishable, but often confused, lines of development from a common base in Husserlian thought.
