Transcendental phenomenology and the a priori sciences

Theodorus de Boer

pp. 487-493

In the preceding chapter, we saw that the positive sciences of physics and psychology are caught up in the natural attitude. Transcendental phenomenology changed these naive dogmatic sciences into philosophical sciences.1 There is an analogous relationship between transcendental phenomenology and the a priori sciences. The eidetic attitude is also pre-philosophical. When we focus our attention on ideal numbers, for example, this world of numbers is also "there for us," just as the natural world is "there for us," even if it remains in the background.2
