 Last Wednesday we had fun with Husserl finally spelling out some of the topics he was leading up to. 

We decided to confirm our meeting on 20 December, reading up to the end of §55 (Carr, p. 189), which is also the end of part III A of the book. 

That is, we will reach the end of "The Way into Phenomenological Transcdentental Philosophy by Inquiring back from the Pregiven Life World", leading to III B, namely, "The Way into Phenonmenological Transcendental Philosophy from Psychology". 

 There was much new material to digest at our last meeting. We decided to reduce the amount of reading for our next session slightly. 

We will meet again on 6 December to discuss the pages up to p. 172 in Carr's translation (end of section 50).
