%X This rebuttal responds to the article ¡°Getting it quite wrong¡± (published in this journal issue of QHR). My work is described as ¡°amassing experiential descriptions,¡± simply aiming to ¡°reproduce the original experience unaltered,¡± naively claiming ¡°that the fundamental question of phenomenology is to understand what it is like to have this or that experience¡± and other such injudicious points. I take issue with these claims. Husserl is quoted as supportively stating that ¡°phenomenology was from the beginning never supposed to be anything except the path to a radically genuine ¡®strictly scientific metaphysics.¡¯¡± I will show with textual examples that the presented view of phenomenology is too limited and one sided
