Husserl on 'Physico-Psychology'

"The natural science of the modern period, establishing itself in physics, has its roots in the consistent abstraction through which it wants to see, in the life-world, only corporeity. Each 'thing' 'has' corporeity even though, if it is (say) a human being or a work of art, it is not merely bodily but is only 'embodied,' like everything real."

Edmund Husserl, The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology: An Introduction to Phenomenological Philosophy, trans. David Carr (Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press, 1970), p. 227.
