Genetic Phenomenology

Abstract

In this chapter genetic phenomenology is interpreted using the unifying formalism. Genetic phenomenology studies a priori rules governing changes in phenomenological structures. This can be understood in terms of the learning rule of Chap. 3. As background knowledge changes in virtue of the learning rule, a cascade of “genetic” changes occurs in other phenomenological structures (partial intentions, adumbrations, the constitution of an object, its horizons, etc.).
