[a] Appearing to consciousness RF

One is telling the truth if one says that phenomena

are object of inner perception, even though the term

"inner" is actually superfluous. All phenomena are to

be called inner because they all belong to one reality,

be it as constituents or as correlates.

                             —Franz von Brentano, 1888

I am Phenomenology Kitten, and I will be doing "celebrity commentary" on Round and Square in September.

My job is to introduce you to the wonders of a misunderstood philosophical tradition that has coursed through Western philosophy in minor keys through its post-Platonic history (before exploding into prominence and vilification during the past two hundred years).

That's "Phenomenology Kitten," and I thank you in advance for not calling me "Phrenology Kitten." Get your terms straight.

I am filled with wonder as I perceive and apprehend. I shall lead you through Husserlian landscapes, Heideggerian caves, and Ricourean byways.

And wonder...all is wonder.
