Experience and Judgment QUOTES

1 " Every experience has its own horizon; every experience
has its core of actual and determinate cognition, its own content of immediate determinations which give themselves;
but beyond this core of determinate quiddity, of the truly given as "itself here," it has its own horizon. This implies that every experience refers to the possibility
. . . of obtaining, little by little as experience
continues, new determinations of the same thing
. . . And this horizon in its indeterminateness is copresent
from the beginning as a realm (Spielraum) of possibilities, as the prescription of the path to a more
precise determination, in which only experience itself decides in favor of the determinate possibility it
realizes as opposed to others. [Edmund Husserl, Experience and Judgment, trans. James Spencer Churchill and Karl Ameriks (Evanston: Northwestern
University Press, 1973), p. 32.] "
