Hopkins begins his study with Plato's written and unwritten theories of eidê and Aristotle's criticism of both. He then traces Husserl's early investigations into the formation of mathematical and logical concepts, charting the critical necessity that leads from descriptive psychology to transcendentally pure phenomenology. An investigation of the movement of Husserl's phenomenology of transcendental consciousness to that of monadological intersubjectivity follows. Hopkins then presents the final stage of the development of Husserl's thought, which situates monadological intersubjectivity within the context of the historical a priori constitutive of all meaning. An exposition of the unwarranted historical presuppositions that guide Heidegger's fundamental ontological and Derrida's deconstructive criticisms of Husserl's transcendental phenomenology concludes the book. By following Husserl's personal trajectory Hopkins is able to show the unity of Husserl's philosophical enterprise, challenging the prevailing view that Husserl's late turn to history is inconsistent with his earlier attempts to establish phenomenology as a pure science.

Second, the eide¯ themselves are bifurcated into the sensible eide¯ proper to determinate sensible things and the “one in kind [eidei]” (429b28) eide¯ proper to intelligible things. Third, because the intelligible things are in the sensible eide¯, the thinking (theorein) that beholds intelligible things must “behold at the same time some phantasma” (432a9) of a sensible eidos, for “it is not possible even to think (noein) without a phantasma” (Mem. 449b33). And fourth, nous becomes the eidos of

trees”, “three” has the same status as the “white”; the definite amount of trees, namely, “three”, therefore has no proper “nature [phusis]” (M 6, 1080a15, 1082a16; 8, 1083b22). The being so many of trees, like their being green, is dependent on there being trees. The “being three” of three trees therefore cannot be independent of the trees whose amount is “three”. For Aristotle, then, the status of the being of numbers is determined by their natural meaning: the assertion that certain things are

In what follows, then, Husserl’s phenomenology will be introduced starting from the articulation of its mature formulation, in the course of which the development that led to this formulation will be systematically treated and laid out in detail. Pure phenomenology’s most basic principles: presuppositionlessness, pure reflection, essential intuition The mature statement of Husserl’s phenomenology (its fourth and

the contemporary (to him) perception of the crisis in the sciences. This perception is based on two considerations: first, that neither the natural nor human sciences are able to speak to the vital needs of the human being, needs that concern the whole of human existence and especially questions pertaining to its meaning and meaninglessness; and second, that both science and reason in themselves are intrinsically limited in their ability to provide tuition that speaks to these needs. Hence

In the latter case, a combination comes about between the concrete Ego, together with his primordial 168 T H E I N T E R S U B J E C T I V E F O U N DAT I O N O F T R A N S C E N D E N TA L I D E A L I S M sphere, and “the alien sphere represented therein”.
