According to Husserl, the task of Phenomenology is :

  • A.To describe facts
  • B.To analyze presuppositions of knowledge
  • C.To intuit the relation between object the intentional act
  • D.To explain how object is constituted in knowing act

Answer: D

The key gives to explain how the object is constituted in the knowing act.

Husserl's transcendental phenomenology studies consciousness as intentional, always consciousness of something, and seeks to show how objects, with their sense, are constituted in the acts of consciousness that intend them. Bracketing the natural attitude (the epoche) is meant to reveal this constitution.

Phenomenology is not the description of facts in the sense of empirical science, and analysing the presuppositions of knowledge or simply intuiting a relation does not capture its central task of explaining constitution.
