Socrates' Children Quotes

“Until he turned in this idealist direction, many of Husserl’s discoveries coincided with what had become commonplace in medieval Scholastic, especially Thomistic, philosophy, e.g., (1) the distinction between logical and psychological laws, (2) the logical distinction between meaning (comprehension) and reference (extension), (3) the “moderate metaphysical realism” of universals, (4) the epistemology of abstraction (of the universal from the particular and accidental), which is essentially what Husserl calls the “eidetic reduction,” (5) the distinction between essence and existence (on the phenomenal level, though not the metaphysical level), (6) intentionality (cf. Summa Theologiae I, 85,2), and (7) the related distinction between the mental act and the mental object.”
