Hi Maxine, Thank you very much for your thoughtful response! (and Mark β thanks for another excellent post!)
I now feel I have a better sense of what is being considered, although I confess I still struggle a bit with the language. You raise several points . . . > Bracketing is only the beginning! Making the familiar strange is only he first step! < Yes, this makes perfect sense and (I think) falls in line with the *a priori* notion that Loet alludes to in his post. I would term this as "a beginners mind" needed to discern a pure (uncolored) and detailed view of the topic. Further, an *a prior* vista seems critical to developing an essential three-fold model pointed to by Mark. > In short, in turning βto the things themselves,β we distinguish noesis and noema: consciousness and the object as meant. < This of course echoes "das ding an sich" and noumena . . . but then this is not what you mean, no? This leaves me wondering: exactly "how far does the penny fall" in the phenomenological approach you advocate? > Each of these aspects of [Husserlian] meaning warrants study. < The whole matter of "meaning" seems to be a recurrently open, HOT and unresolved matter within this group. Loet's post points to a social aspect, others (Collier?) will point to a material aspect, and I stand somewhere in-between. In any case, all can convey meaning but of quite different types. Do you have a specific view you are advocating here, beyond your general allusion to Husserlian meaning? > What is wanted in a phenomenological analysis of information . . . full-blown uncovering of the nature . . .< As Mark's post suggests, there are many in this group likely to agree with this, I certainly do! Still, it feels like you are more advocating for a particular approach (phenomenological) rather than presenting a actual phenomenological analysis. I apologize if I sound a bit dense here, but I wish to be clear and make sure I do not overlook something. Thanks for your thoughts!
