Phenomenology of the Cognitive System — A Critique of Husserl (Part One)

In this paper, I propose to develop a new form of phenomenology, which I call Phenomenology of the Cognitive System. How does this phenomenology differ from existing philosophical approaches? To answer this, let us begin with a basic idea: Kantian philosophy may be understood as equipping us with the “lenses” of time, space, and categories through which we view the world. Yet in reality, we see the world through the “lenses” of a cognitive system. This represents, in my view, a genuine improvement upon traditional epistemology. It is with this conviction that I am eager to construct a new theory of knowledge. This is the founding motivation of the Phenomenology of the Cognitive System.
