Analyses Of "Pure Ego" In Ideas Ⅰ

The issue of the ego is throughout the Husserl’s phenomenology. Roughly speaking, the issue of the ego in Husserl’s phenomenology experienced such a process: from denying the pure ego in the first edition of Logical Investigations to affirming the pure ego in Ideas I, from the pure ego in Ideas I to the monadic ego in Cartesian Meditations.And this paper will focus on the pure ego in Ideas I.This paper is divided into three chapters, mainly discussing three aspects as follows:the origin of the pure ego,the relationship between the pure ego and the cogito, and the deploying process of the pure ego in Ideas I.Specifically, the first chapter mainly discusses the change of the attitude to the pure ego from the first edition of Logical Investigations to Ideas I and the reasons of the change.In the first edition of Logical Investigations,Husserl used the principle of presuppositionlessness and the phenomenological description method to criticize Natorp’s theory of the pure ego and deny the existence of the pure ego,only admitting the empirical ego and the phenomenological ego.With the continuous development of phenomenology, denying the pure ego made Husserl in trouble. In the second edition of the Logical Investigations, Husserl shaken the negative attitude to the pure ego.While in Ideas I, Husserl clearly affirmed the existence of the pure ego and regarded the pure ego as the relationship centre. Thus Husserl’s attitude toward the pure ego was from negation to affirmation. The change of the attitude to the pure ego had its reasons,and the reasons relates with the theory of the intention and the existence mode of the pure ego.The second chapter focuses on the relationship between the pure ego and the cogito.Before trying to clarify the relationship, this paper firstly illustrates the pure ego and the cogito. At this moment the pure ego was no content, no nature, a highly formalized, empty ichpol. And the cogito in Idea I was also divided into broad and narrow sense Cogito in the broad sense refers to all the activities.while cogito in the narrow sense refers to the real consciousness activity. As for the relationship between them, Husserl thought that in order to clarify the pure ego,we should firstly reveal the relationship between the pure ego and the cogito.the relationship between the pure ego and the cogito is as follows:The pure ego always sent a sight from itself,the sight was inherent in every cogito, and toward the object.But on the other hand, the pure ego is not a kind of a variety of the experiences,and is not the real part of the experience.The last chapter explains the development of the pure ego in Ideas I. In Ideas I, with the deepening of the phenomenological method, the pure ego also constantly got bursting, obtaining more rich meaning.specifically, after the phenomenological epoche,although we lost the external world, we got a new areas-the pure consciousness; And in the field of the pure consciousness, based on the discussion of time and the transcendental reduction,the pure ego was not only as an empty ichpol, and showed another important feature- transcendence in immance,the transcendence in immance is different from the transcendence of the external objects.
