For Harlan Kane: Husserl vs. Verhexung
"Die Philosophie ist ein Kampf gegen die Verhexung
unsres Verstandes durch die Mittel unserer Sprache."
— Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations (1953),
Section 109
"The newly redesigned Museum of Modern art
bracketed a rectangular open space."
— Photo caption in a Dec. 23 New York Times obituary
"The literature is replete with explanations of the benefits of
bracketing, not only in phenomenological studies but in other
types of qualitative research."
— Thomas, S. P., & Sohn, B. K. (2023).

An application of the Husserl approach to Verhexung —
Bracketing the phrase "Galois space" in the literature yields different
mathematical concepts, some derived from "Galois geometry," some
from "topological space."
The former relates to structures with a finite number of points, the latter
to structures with an infinite number of points. Sometimes the two sorts
of structure are related to one another. For example . . .

Diamond Brackets*
For more on the phrase "diamond brackets," see the post
Artistic Style of July 24, 2018.
This was the dies natalis (in the Catholic sense) of philosophy
professor Garth L. Kemerling.
From Kemerling's internet "Philosophy Pages" —
"First, it must be possible in principle to arrange and organize
the chaos of our many individual sensory images by tracing
the connections that hold among them. This Kant called
the synthetic unity of the sensory manifold.
Second, it must be possible in principle for a single subject
to perform this organization by discovering the connections
among perceived images. This is satisfied by what Kant called
the transcendental unity of apperception."
Related Log24 phrases —
"Intake Manifold" and "Bulk Apperception."

Eidetic Reduction in Geometry
|
"Husserl is not the greatest philosopher of all times. — Kurt Gödel as quoted by Gian-Carlo Rota Some results from a Google search — Eidetic reduction | philosophy | Britannica.com Eidetic reduction, in phenomenology, a method by which the philosopher moves from the consciousness of individual and concrete objects to the transempirical realm of pure essences and thus achieves an intuition of the eidos (Greek: “shape”) of a thing—i.e., of what it is in its invariable and essential structure, apart … Phenomenology Online » Eidetic Reduction
The eidetic reduction: eidos. Method: Bracket all incidental meaning and ask: what are some of the possible invariate aspects of this experience? The research Eidetic reduction – New World Encyclopedia Sep 19, 2017 – Eidetic reduction is a technique in Husserlian phenomenology, used to identify the essential components of the given phenomenon or experience. |
For example —
The reduction of two-colorings and four-colorings of a square or cubic
array of subsquares or subcubes to lines, sets of lines, cuts, or sets of
cuts between* the subsquares or subcubes.
