From Husserlian Mereology to the Phenomenological Consistency of the Pure Ego

Abstract

This article attempts to demonstrate and explore the themes that link Husserlian mereology, the laws of logically pure grammar and the phenomenologically complex unity of consciousness, as it appears in Logical Investigations (1911). We intend to highlight, in addition to the necessary articulation of the theory of ideal units of meaning with mereology and the notion of pure consciousness, the in nuce presence of the epoché method and the notion of worldly transcendence for the intelligibility of the exact phenomenological operation already at this stage. It will become clear that the ideality of the species cannot be given without the operation of ideation, which constitutes one of the indispensable stages of phenomenological analysis, best known for its reflective character.
