If one wishes to grasp clearly the significance of Husserl's philosophy for contemporary psychology it is surely not enough to establish by a series of citations that in the publications of contemporary psychologists certain theses, thoughts, and concepts of the great German thinker occur in their original formulation. It would be a mistake to regard the rapidly increasing frequency with which we encounter the expressions "phenomenon" and "phenomenology," "intentionality" and "act," "life-world" and "bracketing," and "intuition" in psychological papers as an unambiguous sign of Husserl's direct and decisive influence on psychological thinking and methodological principles.
