Kohler, from "Value and Fact"

"A time will probably come in psychology and philosophy in which it will be a principle of method that the obvious characteristics of primary observational data are to be respected at their face value.... The time in which this rule will be generally accepted is likely to be remote. But it can be brought nearer only by one attempt after another to do precisely what the rule demands. The rule asks for phenomenology.*

Footnote: "To avoid misunderstanding it will here be necessary to add that phenomenology in the present sense differs from Husserl's technique. I do not believe that we are justified in putting certain phases of experience in brackets. [Yes!] A first account of experience ought to be given and carefully studied without selections of any kind. It is otherwise to be expected that even if the brackets are introduced as mere methodological tools, they will sooner or later turn out of be weapons of an ontological prejudice. In fact, I am not sure whether Husserl himself has not used them as such weapons" (363).

Badass. This essay also contains the best critique of sociobiology I've yet read....and it's from 1944. And if you accuse me of falling prey to the myth of the given, I say, so what? I've spent the whole day cursing at the space of reasons (for which I have a primordial revulsion).
