Notes

  1. In part A.1 of the Appendix, Madary instructs the reader as to where to find these ideas in Husserl’s works (Madary 2017, pp. 177–180).

  2. For Husserl’s contrastive discussion of perceptual emptiness and indeterminacy, see Husserl 1973, §18, especially pp. 57–59.

  3. Just to be clear, I do not notice that Madary speaks about fullness or emptiness in other terms either. In particular, I have no special reason to believe that, for him, “determinacy” and “indeterminacy” might (sometimes) just mean fullness and emptiness.

  4. For Husserl’s evidential conception of intentionality and objectivity, see Husserl 1974 , pp. 143–144.

  5. Husserl, in his earlier work, regarded this limit as attainable in principle, though not in practice (Husserl 1984, pp. 762, 765), and, in his later work, as not even attainable in principle (Husserl 1973, pp. 138–139).
