20 Proceedings of the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Congress Husserl’s bracketing does not mean to limit our own perspective, but to bracket the limit which each philosopher of his time put to himself and enjoyed only his ghetto. Husserl asked each one to put his own limitation into brackets so that the mind or consciousness, as he called it, may be free to accept all possible values that a man can enjoy. Husserl spent all his life to purify his method which he called Phenomenology. He experimented it with the researches of “essences” of things: he had no time to venture on other topics than the traditional ones. Martin Heidegger, one of his disciples, applied Phenomenology to human existence called Dasein. Gadamer and the Postmodernists applied it to find out unbiasedly themeaning of human life in the World of complicated character. The complication can be overcome by Hermeneutics, the method originated from the need to interpret literary and artistic works, now combined with Phenomenology, to venture on giving a healthy meaning to the world or the Globalizational character. Today we are facing the new characteristic of human existence: the Globalization. Let’s face it with a new hope, supported by an appropriate Philosophy – the Globalizational Philosophy with its method adapted from Phenomenology – the Hermeneutics. 7. Globalizational Age  With the prospective of all humans actually living on earth as our villagers, of all historical agents as our forerunners, of all humans to come after us as our inheritors, of all human knowledge to appreciate, with all human achievements as our patrimony, and of all human resources as our resources, let us launch out to seek for unbiased apprehension and appriation by analysis and evaluation. Acquisition of Knowledge Man can know by Perception (Acquisition), Intuition Transcendental Intuition. Man understands better by Analysis and Synthesis which are the two sides of the same coin. Man is more convinced by proof: induction and deduction. The most pervasive and the most effective of all is the intuition. Intuition can be - sensible: red, cold - psychological: glad, sorrowful - instinctive: dangerous - analytical - divinatory: may be credible - synthetical - relational - transcendental
