“What’s it have to do? Renè, who originally fought the House of Magnu? Our ancestors! Who were the first people conquered? Our ancestors! Why would Trinity appoint such a violent lineage of human beings to kill people or in a best-case situation, let them live like this?” She flashed her X’d hands. “Because of the crimes we committed against the Native Tamurians all those years ago.” Mali pointed to herself. “We didn’t commit those crimes. Our ancestors did. For some odd reason, no one here seems to understand that.”

“[M]ost Husserl scholars ... seem to be blind to the future and have eyes only for the present. For they are so interested in the present in order to make phenomenology ... compatible with the most fashionable trends of contemporary philosophy ... that they do not realize that - in so doing - nothing will be left of phenomenology in the future. Indeed, Husserl’s phenomenology has already been stripped of its highest aspirations (viz., that of developing a full-fledged theory of reason able to provide a new foundation for metaphysics and, linked to the latter, reforming humanity); it has already been stripped or freed of its most important methodological tools (e.g., the so-called transcendental reduction); more recently, even Heidegger’s phenomenology has been purged of its language (e.g., by translating Dasein as “mind”). [...] The desire to make phenomenology, specially Husserl’s thought, attractive to the present will merely relegate it to the past, for phenomenology seems to be suitable for the present only on condition that it is no longer phenomenology itself.”
