Abstract
The epistemologically pregnant sense of self-evidence (Evidenz)... gives to an intention, e.g., the intention of judgment, the absolute fullness of content, the fullness of the object itself. The object is not merely meant, but in the strictest sense given, and given as it is meant, and made one with our meaning- reference.... It is said of every percept that it grasps its object directly, or grasps this object itself. But this direct grasping has a different sense and character according as we are concerned with a percept in the narrower or wider sense, or according as the directly grasped object is sensible or categorial. Or otherwise put, according as it is a real or ideal object.
