And thus we drop anchor on the shore of phenomenology, whose objects are posited as existing, as any science posits the existence of the objects it investigates, but not as existing in an ego, in a temporal world, but rather as entities absolutely given and grasped in pure immanent seeing: what is purely immanent here is first of all to be characterized through the phenomenological reduction; I mean precisely what is immanent, not what it refers to beyond itself, but rather what it is in itself and what it is given as.
