A quote from Albert Camus

" I shall examine merely the theme of 'the Intention' made fashionable by Husserl and the phenomenologists. I have already alluded to it. Originally Husser's method negates the classic procedure of the reason. Let me repeat. Thinking is not unifying or making the appearance familiar under the guise of a great principle. Thinking is learning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place. In other words, phenomenology declines to explain the world, it wants to be merely a description of actual experience. "

(Albert Camus - The Myth of Sisyphus, page 44)

This is one model of thinking. I think it is good to know many models of thinking. This one is in line with the "Show, Don't Tell!" principle...................
