The term “clear and distinct” is used by both Descartes and Husserl when they talk about the truth of an idea and the evidence of judgment. Although the words “clear” and “distinct” are juxtaposed with the conjunction “and,” this does not mean that their status is equal. If the concept of “evidence” can be used to characterize the hierarchical relationship between them, then we can say that, for Descartes, distinct evidence is higher than clear evidence. For Husserl, on the contrary, clear evidence is higher than distinct evidence. Their opposing views concerning the hierarchy between clarity and distinctness is symptomatic of the differences between their two understandings of the epistemological relationship between intellect and sensibility, as well as of their respective ontological reach.

笛卡尔与胡塞尔论“清晰与独特”

笛卡尔和胡塞尔在谈论思想的真实性和判断的证据时都使用了“清晰和独特”一词。尽管“清晰”和“独特”这两个词与连词“和”并列，但这并不意味着它们的地位是平等的。如果可以用“证据”这个概念来刻画它们之间的层次关系，那么我们可以说，对于笛卡尔来说，分明的证据高于明晰的证据。相反，对于胡塞尔来说，明确的证据高于明确的证据。他们关于清晰性和清晰性之间等级的相反观点是他们对智力和感性之间的认识论关系以及各自本体论范围的两种理解之间差异的征兆。
