Abstract
This contribution falls within the framework of what I like to call a “phenomenological empiricism”, which I seek to identify as a possible philosophy for micro-phenomenology. From this perspective, my argument unfolds in three main stages. First, I will explore the internal and external limits of the transcendental. On this critical basis, I will map out the descriptive, ontological and epistemological categories appropriate to phenomenological empiricism. Finally, I will examine the type of eidetic method that seems appropriate for this approach, which I call “experiential eidetics”.
