Abstract

Roman Ingarden’s systematic and truly analytical mind in conjuction with his perseverance in dissecting any subject has resulted in a wealth of rigorously differentiated concepts that form a complicated whole for us to examine. Ingarden is far more conscientious than Husserl, and more patient. Where Husserl leaps ahead, Ingarden proceeds slowly and with caution. Typical of his method is a remark like: “This problem seems to be very difficult. I’ll try to solve it step by step.” Characteristically, Ingarden constantly blames Husserl for not being sufficiently explicit, not pursuing a given analysis far enough and not formulating his concepts with sufficient clarity.
