PHENOMENOLOGY AS EIDETIC technology OF THE 'UR-REGION' the place then does phenomenology healthy into this photograph? For Husserl, philosophy and phenomenology should not strictly exact. Philosophy, as i've got acknowledged, is anxious with formal and fabric ontology. Its 34 PHENOMENOLOGY AND different 'EIDETIC SCIENCES' situation is to safe the essences and axioms upon which the paintings of eidetic and empirical disciplines should be established.

As utilized phenomenology, of crucial necessity it produces the finally evaluative feedback of every in particular ordinary technological know-how; and hence, specifically, it determines the last word feel of the 'being' of its items and the basic rationalization of its equipment. as a result, it's comprehensible that phenomenology is, in an effort to converse, the key nostalgia of all sleek philosophy.
