Conclusion: Toward a Contextualized Psychology
We have now expended much effort and energy, not to mention pages, to wind our way through the conceptual labyrinth that is the evolution of Husserl’s thought concerning the relationship between phenomenology and psychology. We have arrived at what we tak

For John Strauss Who could not have been a better mentor, or friend. And who encouraged me, for 30 years, to write this book.
We would also state expressly that it would of course be pointless to treat the positive science of intentional psychology and transcendental phenomenology separately. Obviously, the work of actual execution must devolve upon the latter, whereas psychology … will take over the results. Yet it is important to note that, just as the psyche and the whole Objective world do not lose their existence and existential sense when considered transcendentally (since they are merely rendered originarily understandable, by the uncovering of their concrete all-sidedness), so positive psychology does not lose its rightful content but rather, freed of naïve positivity, becomes a discipline within universal transcendental philosophy itself. From this point of view, we may say that, among the sciences that have been raised above the level of naïve positivity, intentional psychology is intrinsically the first from the Cartesian Meditations (Husserl, 1977a, p. 147).
