Convergent phenomenology and real relations

Jim Ruddy

pp. 95-149

This chapter asks three questions: Do real relations exist? If so, how are they experienced and meant? And, once their adesse objectivity has been singled out through a new epoche, how are they then constituted within pure consciousness? The properties of real relations are thus unfolded as follows. Their entire nature or essence is simply a towardness to something beyond themselves. As a result, they never change except secondarily insofar as their ground or term changes. They are not able to be counted in any strict sense. And once they are known, they are known absolutely and thus cannot be thematized any further.
