Cartesian Meditations

Disciplines:
epistemology
phenomenology

Summary

Edmund Husserl's Paris lectures developing transcendental phenomenology through a Cartesian method of suspension and constitutive analysis, including a treatment of intersubjectivity.

Core Contribution

Develops the transcendental reduction and the constitution of the objective world; addresses intersubjectivity through analogical apperception — the other is constituted as another ego by analogy with my own ego.
