Contra neutralitatem. An Opinionated Introduction to the Problem of Metaphysics in Husserl's Phenomenology

Abstract

The present papers aims at mapping out the different meanings of the term metaphysics in the philosophy of Husserl. Contrary to the usual interpretation to the effect that Husserl's phenomenology is metaphysically neutral, this text makes the case for distinguishing three phases in the development of Husserl's concept of metaphysics.
