So much of our understanding of the nature of things is second-hand inference. What I like about the phenomenology of Husserl is he strips away inferences and deals with what is manifest to an individual's experience. This perspective gets down to the raw essentials of first-person experience and builds from there. We may know the number of potatoes in a sack but this is different than actually seeing the potatoes. So much of what we take for granted the whole substructure of our knowledge is the inferences from second-hand sources and theoretical understandings of expert specialties which is very different than the raw experience manifest to our perceptions. This philosophy clears the decks and tries to build something fresh.
