Abstract
Evidence and fulfillment have relations to spontaneity. The ego strives to continue until satisfied. This involves valuing of the evident and volitionally the ego seeks to realize it. There is striving to make the indirectly given directly given and also striving to explicate and express in words and to criticize the evidence. Thus there is teleology to cognitive life.

What we have said here has no bearing on the fact that if, instead of confining my attention to the sheer individual, I grasp the essence of sensory perceiving, I then may have evidence that a certain structure is necessary to all possible instances of sensory perceiving, and therefore is realized in this evidently grasped instance of the essence, even though I have not yet grasped its individual structure. The phenomenological analyses in this essay are intended as analyses of real or phantasied individual structures not as mere facts, but as purely possible instances of their general essential natures. If they be such, these analyses apply to all real or conceivable instances of those general natures. (Cf. Chaps. 10 and 11).
