Abstract

Kerckhoven presents the main issues and problems addressed in the VI Cartesian Meditation, whose primary purpose is to present the idea of a transcendental doctrine of the phenomenological method. In his attempt to develop a “phenomenology phenomenology”, Fink established the project of a thematic reduction of the idea of being and of a fundamental ontology, which ultimately lead to the development of his meontic phenomenology. This conception is analyzed by van Kerckhoven in the three essential elements that compose its peculiar dialectics: 1) the reductive “dehumanization”; 2) the constitutive humanization, and 3) the return of transcendental phenomenology within the natural world (secondary enworlding).
