Hume is shit

>>9860556
Hume is good for understanding the idea that we can't claim to know any real cause-effect chains, but only probability. For example, the sun has risen every day I've been alive but tomorrow it might not and that wouldn't imply any contradiction.

From what I've read about Husserl he's just a pedantic meme. You sure it's worth the read?

I dislike Hume greatly, but that is probably the one thing he's decent at explaining. Is that really necessary to explore when you want a basic understanding of phenomenology though?

Personally I haven't read Husserl. I've read the other three I suggested and been meaning to get to him, but haven't had the chance. I had a professor in my undergrad that wouldn't shut up about him and how important he is in understanding existentialism. Honestly, you could probably skip him, read the other three and some of the existentialists, and still end up with a decent understanding of phenomenology.

I've already read Descartes and Locke, but none of them answer the question "What is subjective experience?"
I personally think it's a phenomenon that occurs in the same way that when you put 2 Hydrogen and 1 oxygen together you suddenly get the phenomenon/property of "wetness"

Also: never aks for advice on /lit/ regarding philosophy again. You'll get entirely unhelpful recommendations such as the ones above. Why? Because none of them have a clue what it is you are asking about, yet feel the urge to contribute anyway.
