Abstract

A being given to us in the "natural attitude" is an actual being. It is given to our intuition in its originary givenness. Whether the givenness be that of an "external perception," an "internal experience" or some other does not matter. Our concern here is with the actual world, and therefore we can talk about this givenness as that of intuitions of experience.
