Features: Cartesian Meditations is one of the main representative works of Husserl's late thought. As an "introduction" to transcendental phenomenology, this book first elaborates on the transcendental phenomenological reduction method by "transforming and reconstructing" Descartes' method of universal doubt. On this basis, Husserl provides a detailed genetic clarification of a series of issues that transcendental phenomenology focuses on—such as: intentional acts/intentional objects, the ego theory/transcendental self, strange experience/other me, the universal experiential world/life world, intersubjectivity/human community, metaphysics/ontology, etc.
