Abstrakt
When the first book of the Ideen zu einer reinen Phänomenologie und phänomenologische Philosophie was released in 1913, the main goal that Husserl aimed at achieving was to lay the foundations of what he labeled "an essentially new science" (Hua III/1, 3), a "new eidetics" (Hua III/1, 164), phenomenology as a "science of Ideas" (Hua III/1, 4-5) or, in a more emphatic way, as an eidetic science of transcendental phenomena belonging to the region of pure consciousness (Hua III/1, 6-7). Husserl's chief burden was not only to ensure the possibility of such a new science by dis- closing a new field of investigation ("pure consciousness"), but first and foremost to legitimize its methodology in opposition, on the one hand, to science of facts (e.g., empirical psychology) and, on the other hand, to already established eidetic sciences (e.g., geometry and mathematics)
