Abstract

Husserl and Fink have both brought the understanding of transcendental phenomenology to its radical consequences. Where is the place of the phenomenologist between the transcendental and natural? Whereas Husserl answered this just in a implicit way, Fink put it as the main theme of his 6. Cartesian Meditation. The main topic that concerns this question is phenomenological self-understanding itself. How is possible to mediate it sense? Their common answer was that is possible just in the relation with the pregiveness of the world. If for Husserl this meant a relation between the theoretical and practical subject, for Fink meant the self-relation of the phenomenological subject of reduction.
