The transcendental reduction and language

Suzanne Cunningham

pp. 35-57

Let us turn now to Husserl's second, or "transcendental," reduction, and begin by clarifying the meaning of the transcendental ego which the reduction uncovers. We shall then be in a better position to turn to the key function of that ego, meaning-constitution, and to examine the constitution both of meaningful objects and of language. It will become apparent, I think, that a more careful account of the genetic constitution of language leads one directly to a context of intersubjectivity.
