Abstract

Husserl was aiming to formulate a new aim and method of philosophy in order to bring philosophy back to the status of science. His aim was to construct a system which had to be free of thelimitations imposed by positive sciences and which could formulate positive statements. When he was realizing this venture he attached great value to the methods which that type of philosophy used. The first method is phenomenological reduction (epoche). It enables the elimination of epistemological and metaphysical assumption in the analysis. On the way was uncovered pure consciousness (transcendental consciousness), which can not be reduced. The assertionof absolute consciousness is an element of the Husserl’s Cartesian way. Immanent perception makes possible to analyse the state of pure consciousness. Husserl also used eidetic analysis which made it possible to grasp the essence of the phenomenon. The author of the phenomenology also describes the way thru an ontology which is destined to overcome some of the difficulties which come with the Cartesian way. Two of the most important charges levied against Husserl’s methodology are introspectionism and fundamentalism.
