Phenomenology Reinterpreted: from Husserl to Heidegger

Abstract

Three key texts are used to resolve the wide disagreement on heidegger's debt to husserl. "my way into phenomenology" establishes the shift in problematic from lived-Experience to being. "the idea of phenomenology identifies five similarities that persist: the reflective movement of thought, The ontological difference that distinguishes philosophy from science, The transcendental constitution of entities, The use of reduction or epoche, And eidetic analyses. In section 7 of "being and time" the tensions in heidegger's struggle are evident in the inconsistencies to which he is driven: he renounces historical definitions and then undertakes etymological analyses, Insists that phenomenology is just a method and then ties it inextricably to the question of being.
