About a transcendental subjectivity in E. Husserl

Abstract

The phenomenological project of Edmund Husserl has the objective of outstripping the classic confrontation between the objectivity of the world and the subjectivity of consciousness. The aim is to show that the relationship between these two parts is not static, but that through a specific intentional act, subject and object form a concrete unity, a whole.

This act is the constitution and through it the objectivity of the knowledge and the subjectivity of human experience become not only bound, but above all co-dependent. The purpose of this article is therefore to analyze how Husserl manages to legitimate this relation by developing the idea of a transcendental subjectivity.

The latter, however, can only be understood within the analysis of the constitution, for it is through this act that such subjectivity will develop itself.
