    It is not the case that Ingarden's own ontology of real objects requires that phenomenology describe how transcendent being is *encountered*, not merely how immanent states are internally configured.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Phenomenology has no direct access to transcendent objects as they exist independently; we can only describe how they appear, not how they are encountered in themselves.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The notion of 'encountering' transcendent being already presupposes the subject-object split phenomenology aims to analyze, rather than resolving it methodologically.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Immanent states and their structural configurations constitute the totality of phenomenological data; claims about transcendence exceed empirical descriptive methodology.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Phenomenology that ignores transcendent objects reduces consciousness to introspective theater, severing intentionality from what intentional acts are about.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Ingarden's distinction between immanent states and transcendent objects preserves the realist insight that we encounter resistance and independence in things.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Describing only internal configurations treats the world as phenomenologically constructed rather than discovered, reversing the proper direction of intentional analysis.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
