Title: 1. Husserl’s Transcendental Phenomenology Considered in the Light of (Recent) Epistemology
Abstract: This chapter on Edmund Husserl's transcendental phenomenology represents an epistemological project which he sometimes refers to as Philosophy. He also speaks of Cartesian Meditations and stresses that first philosophical act is universal overthrow of all prior beliefs, however acquired. This project aims at nothing less than a philosophical understanding of our whole view of the world and ourselves. The author proposes to investigate into this undertaking regarding both its method and content and to relate it, where useful, to more recent (analytic) epistemology. Finally, Husserl's recourse to the so conceived lifeworld shows that he does not presuppose any generic source of knowledge which could be questioned as a whole due to its epistemic autonomy and its limited information value. Keywords:Edmund Husserl; Epistemology; First Philosophy; Transcendental Phenomenology
