Eugene begins the talk light-heartedly and reminds the audience of the use of the hand as a mnemonic device. Then from a definition from the audience of phenomenology as ‘having a think’ he mentions that there is suggestion that Husserl the originator of phenomenology had had influence from Oriental philosophy, then states that phenom. is about getting to the essential datum of consciousness. He stress that all things, relations, everything is internal to consciousness. ‘Phenomenon’ means appearance and all things appear in consciousness in some form. Every human is a centre of a field or zone of consc.. A field being where an influence can be detected or a form may appear and in this way a circle can adequately represent the circumscription of a zone or a being, but that this circle or circumscription is always drawn within consc.. Before the circle the consc. had no edges. The consc. before the circle is drawn is ‘transcendent’ conc. in phenomenology. The skin can represent the circle drawn in consc. And the mind can then defined as the zone of evaluation. Adequate representation allows for mind to evaluate, and formulate, maths and physics equations can represent adequately the processes of the world. E=MC2 is such a representation. Such representations existed for millions of years before being represented on paper by men. So that these forms transcend time, are hence eternal, this relates directly to Platonism.
