The aim here is to discuss, in a manner similar to that in which the other phases of contemporary philosophy are described above, the contemporary problems of modern phenomenology. But there is a peculiarity of the phenomenological movement which should be indicated at once, since it will become apparent in the treatment of phenomenology in this and subsequent chapters. Although other forms of contemporary thought can be discussed topically, within an analytic framework designed to reveal their systematic approach to any and all facets of reality, a more historical approach is necessary with respect to phenomenology.
