 But as regards idealism, Findlay drew a line in the sand. It is simply false, he wrote, that esse est construi. He rejected Husserl’s famous “epoché”, or suspension of the “natural attitude” towards the world, even arguing the epoché, is inconsistent with idealism. Husserl has assumed that to not affirm the natural world is to affirm that the natural world is not. But a true suspension would affirm nothing, either way.
