Es ist leicht nachzuweisen, dass erst auf dem Boden des phänomenologisch reinen Bewusstseins und im Rahmen einer reinen Phänomenologie alle vernunfttheoretischen Probleme wissenschaftlich streng formuliert und dann in ihrem systematischen Zusammenhang wirklich glöst werden.(Hua XXV, 80)
This might seem quite pretentious on Husserl's part. But it is no more pretentious than Ayer's Project or the project of linguistic analysis.Remember, Ayer thinks that all of the analytical philosophers are doing linguistic analysis. When someone asks the question: What is perception? The question really asked is about the use of language.
Ayer: "What is the nature of a material thing? is, like any other question of the form, a linguistic question, being a demand for a definition. And the propositions which are set forth in answer to it are linguistic propositions, even though they may be expressed in such a way that they seem to be factual. They are propositions about the relationship of symbols, and not about the properties of the things which the symbols denote" (Language Truth and Logic, 64-65)
Well, you just replace "LINGUISTIC" with "PHENOMENOLOGICAL", "DEFINITION" with "DESCRIPTION", "SYMBOLS" with "PHENOMENA" Then I think you get a parallel characterization of PHENOMENOLOGY.
That is, all philosophical questions must be formulated in the linguistic philosophical way. All of the real philosophical questions are questions concerning the use of language, or meaning, grammar of language.
