Atdtda22: [43.6] Seeing/believing, 627

[627.7-9] Several hours later, Kit became aware of a huge, soft, indistinct
mass in the gloom of the dormitory, giving off the unmistakable scent of
freshly-baked pastry.

Phenomenology ... does not discuss states of animal organism (not even
belonging to a possible nature as such), but perceptions, judgements,
feelings as such, and what pertains to them a priori with unlimited
generality, as pure instances of pure species, of hat may be seen through a
purely intuitive apprehension of essence, whether generic or specific. Pure
arithmetic likewise speaks of numbers and pure geometry of spatial shapes,
employing pure intuitions in their ideational universality. Not psychology,
therefore, but phenomenology, underlines all clarifications in pure logic
(and in all forms of rational criticism). Phenomenology has, however, a very
different function as the necessary basis for every psychology that could
with justification and in strictness be called scientific, just as pure
mathematics, eg pure geometry and dynamics, is the necessary foundation for
all exact natural science (any theory of empirical things in nature with
their empirical forms, movements, etc). Our essential insights into
perception, volitions and other forms of experience will naturally hold also
of the corresponding empirical states of animal organisms, as geometrical
insights hold of spatial figures in nature.

[627.20] "It's like invisibility," the apparition continued, "only
different? Most people can't admit they see me. So in effect they don't see
me."

Cf. Foley Walker's appearance on 619-620:

Next time Kit looked back, of course there was no Foley now, if that's what
the apparition had been.
