The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
The existentialist thinking of philosophy originates in the self-understanding, or understanding of existence, that is given with existence itself; and it is nothing other than the clear and methodical development of that self-understanding.
In somewhat the same way, the objectifying thinking of the special sciences originates in the "work-thinking" by which we take possession of the world; and it is the consistent and methodical development of such thinking (NTM: 103).
