The separate worlds of physician and patient

S Kay Toombs

pp. 1-29

Abstract

In his descriptive investigation of phenomena, Husserl paid particular attention to the manner in which the individual experiences the world. He analyzed such experiencing in terms of the structuring activity of consciousness, and thereby disclosed an essential correlation between the perceiver and the object perceived (e.g., between myself-as-believing and the belief-as-believed-by-me). In disclosing this essential correlation Husserl demonstrated that immediate experiencing is necessarily unique.17
