The transcendental phenomenology of Husserl's noted that a new way forward to the traditional subjects of philosophy .However, he did not isolated from the traditional study of the main questions of philosophy, it is impossible to leave the main philosophy of the system for he. The philosophy of Husserl's based on the subjectivism of philosophy, his philosophy com from Descartes, Leibniz, Hume, Kant and other philosophers. The most important concept of Husserl's transcendental phenomenology undoubtedly is "transcendental ego",and "transcendental ego" is based on "I think therefore I am" of Descartes and the Kantian's "Cogito", through the Cartesian path, with his transcendental reduction, purification obtained. Found a priori self, his study of the situation on the basis of the system came into being. This article is entitled "Transcendental ego"of Husserl and its puzzledom, it is hoped that the adoption of the "transcendental ego", and makes of Husserl's phenomenology to do a spy system.The first part, first of all, I fetched in the two of before Husserl's role with the turning point of the philosopher Descartes and Kant's idea to do a sort of carding. Descartes proposed the important proposition "cogtio, ergo sum ", and create the main philosophy of the modern. Cartesian view that all existing knowledge are unreliable because they do not set up on a reliable basis, so in order to obtain reliable knowledge, it is necessary to find a reliable, absolute basis points. Generally suspected to be a reliable foundation of Husserl's method, after the general suspicion can not be suspected of Husserl found the "Cogito" itself, then "Cogito" hammer out the main body, the outside world and God. Descartes put forward even though " Cogito, ergo sum" philosophy of this great proposition, but this proposition is not perfect, was also questioned. Kant's Critique of Descartes on the "Cotigo" as a spiritual entity, not to distinguish between "transcendental ego " and "experience ego." Kant's attempt to put "Cogtio" into the field a priori, Kant said:"Cogtio"along with my appearance. That is to say, all was given in visual appearance of all of these belong to me, if there is no "Cogtio" will be integrated at many miscellaneous "I", and they will not become the object of my thinking. And so, Kant established his "transcendental ego" on the initial.The second part, the Writing of Husserl's transcendental clarity how can further think of"Cogtio". We know that Husserl's"Cogtio"be from Descartes and Kant, But Husserl also think of the Cartesian "Cotigo" must be modified, because of the Cartesian "Cotigo" is a kind of experience self-awareness, "I" is a psychological experience of the entities, which do not meet the requirements of the study situation. Husserl's view, purely a priori self-or self-structure are: a priori self - Cogito - think of the objects. Husserl from this basic structure, the transformation of the Cartesian " Cogito, ergo sum", in his view, this proposition should be changed to "I think things thought." Critique of Kant's, pointed out that even though Kant's Critique of the traditional rational transcendental found my thinking, but Kant Husserl noted that the path should not make me think of the complete a priori, and because he did not find transcendental reduction methods, the lack of the concept of phenomenological reduction.The third part, firstly, I introduced the concept of"transcendental ego"and the structure of the system to do. Husserl found the "transcendental ego" and attempts to impose its philosophy as the "Archimedean point" to study reconstruction of the world situation. During this process, the exclusion of transcendence and transcendental reduction will be extended to go beyond the nature of those views and beliefs. Since consciousness is always belong to me, transcendental ego as a purely self-awareness activities in relation to awareness of the intention to target the implementation of those acts, it is necessary to maintain its prescribed see, and not a priori need to add self-purification and restore a sense of acceptance object, the awareness of acts of "subversion", the hanging. And after the hanging, transcendental ego also put on to organize awareness and "World" is re-built in awareness. In this way, the world to be able to recognized by"transcendental ego", because these objects belong to"transcendental ego". The structure is not fabricated, but after the transcendental reduction to re-recognize objects. Prior to transcendental ego through self-experience has been restored, and a priori self-evident is also not just about immediate action, and reset this out at their own means of being embedded in the sense of the world. The self-evident of transcendental ego assure legitimate of self-consciousness and construction of the effectiveness of the process. However, when Husserl's"transcendental ego"of transcendental reduction targets to "alter ego", difficulties appeared.Finally, Husserl in order to get out "alter ego" , the plight of inter-subjectivity raised, trying to go out and go beyond the " solipsism ",but the problem is inter-subjectivity. Namely "ego" and "alter ego", how are possible. To solve this problem, he seek help with the important concept "empathy". "As if I is where" - I put myself "into" the strange to the body. It is through such a move, the body and behavior of others is for him to be my total, and the other self. "I" saw only the body and behavior of others, and do not see other people's awareness, but my "Empathy", self-awareness as "transfer" of the past, so in my apperception, the others awareness of his body and act together and happen. However, "empathy" did not give "alter ego" a full evaluation. Husserl is aware of one of the difficulties. Husserl tried to transfer this problem to "life world". "life World" changed with subject. Each person's "life world" is being directed at each person's intention, once the individual has changed the concept of him, then the world also change its way and take on new situation. Eventually "left World" just the supplement of his transcendental phenomenology, and "alter ego" do not be able to give convincing answers.Fully up, if we say that Husserl just put forward "inter-subjectivity" and "life-world" theory, and there is no reasonable solution to this complex problem, then these theories give inspiration and starting point to animadvert for philosophers. As he has repeatedly shown that the phenomenon of the study in no way representative of the ultimate truth, but only as a way to open the way to the path of truth.
