Abstract

With the above, we have stated the preliminary ontological conditions for the view of consciousness as Einsicht or Anschauung. This is the conception of consciousness as possessing insight or intuition into objective being. As indicated in our first chapter, this conception requires an essential precondition. We must get the intentional relation — the relation of a subject directed to an object — out of real causality.
