(1978) The development of Husserl's thought, Dordrecht, Springer.
If it is true that each philosophy has only one "original intuition," then Husserl's is the discovery of the mystery of consciousness, the "wonder of all wonders."1 Husserl's student Fink, who has characterized his teacher as a "genius of reflection and analysis," speaks of a "gigantic vivisection of consciousness" which Husserl carried out, with ever more subtle analyses and with an eye to even the smallest nuances.2 In LU we see that Husserl for the first time tries to describe the inexhaustible riches of consciousness. Later, after 1908, he also discovered the ontological absoluteness of this mystery that bears the entire world.
