From descriptive psychology to transcendentally pure phenomenology. Origin of the task of pure phenomenology -- Pure phenomenology and Platonism -- Pure phenomenology as the transcendental-phenomenological investigation of absolute consciousness -- Transcendental phenomenology of absolute consciousness and phenomenological philosophy -- Limits of the transcendental-phenomenological investigation of pure consciousness -- [pt.] III. From the phenomenology of transcendental consciousness to that of monadological intersubjectivity. Phenomenological philosophy as transcendental idealism -- The intersubjective foundation of transcendental idealism : the immanent transcendency of the world's objectivity -- [pt.] IV.

The unwarranted historical presuppositions guiding the fundamental ontological and deconstructive criticisms of transcendental philosophy. The methodological presupposition of the ontico-ontological critique of intentionality : Plato's Socratic seeing of the eidē -- The mereological presupposition of fundamental ontology : that being as a whole has meaning overall -- The presupposition behind the proto-deconstructive critique of intentional historicity : the conflation of intrasubjective and intersubjective idealities -- The presupposition behind the deconstruction of phenomenology : the subordination of being to speech -- Epilogue : transcendental-phenomenological criticism of the criticism of phenomenological cognition -- Coda : phenomenological self-responsibility and the singularity of transcendental philosophy.
