Some fundamental concepts in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl

Abstract

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Husserl, the great philosopher of the past and a mathematical scholar, had arrived at the idea of needing to transform phenomenology as descriptive psychology into a transcendental phenomenology. His thoughts emphasize that philosophical thinking is equivalent to carefully describing what is seen. Phenomenology does not deal with facts, but with a method that permits seeing no other reality; but rather, so to speak, the reality other or, if you will, a kind of (unreal) otherness of reality. The study is documentary and bibliographic, based on authors such as Martinez (2004), Rojas (2007) and Rusque (2007), without forgetting the position of Heidegger (1951), Husserl (1962) and Dilthey (1980). From their statements, phenomenology is reaffirmed as a foundation for science.
