Abstract
The phenomena-logical description of the constitution of meaningfulness and evidence often is presented (e.g., by the Husserl of the Cartesian Meditations and the Crisis) in terms of a metaphorical vocabulary of fields, horizons, streams, flows, etc. Though other phenomenological themes have been recognized in some of Wittgenstein's writings, his use of these field and stream metaphors in describing his family resemblances or private language positions has generally received very little attention. Perhaps the reason for this stems from a healthy caution about reading too much into a possible Husserl-Wittgenstein connection. Such an attitude, however, is overly cautious in the case of the relationship of Wittgenstein to the psychological writings of William James.
