(1975) On the motives which led Husserl to transcendental idealism, Dordrecht, Springer.
Closely connected to what I said in the preceding section is the question as to what is the essential function and what are the limits of applicability of the phenomenological reduction. Husserl introduces it in Ideas I with a clear aim in mind which has nothing in common, at least not expressis verbis, with the correct method of epistemological investigations. The important matter is the method of uncovering a separate region of individual being which is, according to Husserl, pure consciousness. This is the very region in whose framework the achievement of absolute knowledge is to be possible, an indubitable knowledge obtained in immanent perception or in the "eidetic" attitude to the essence of the acts of this consciousness. Here there is to take place the realization of philosophy as "rigorous" science.
