What is the central idea of Husserl's phenomenology?

AnswerClick to flip back
A
That we can only truly understand the world by returning to the things themselves.
💡 Explanation:

Husserl argued that we can only truly understand the world by returning to the things themselves, and by avoiding the assumptions and prejudices that we bring to our experience. This means that we need to bracket out our beliefs and assumptions about the world and focus on the things themselves as they are presented to us in consciousness.
