Transcendental subjectivity and God: fundamentals of Husserl's phenomenology

Abstract

The phenomenological science seeks to treat phenomena as pure possibilities. Everything that is donated to consciousness has the possibility of being described as it is shown by itself in an intuition. The transcendental subject is the receptive foundation for what’s given and it’s from him that intentional rays depart, from which phenomena gain a meaning of being of something. God for the meaning of “God” needs to be for a subject. But, how does God give himself? It isn’t like the objects that are immediately given to consciousness, but mediated by a teleology of reason itself. The present article proposes to think about the treatment that Husserl gives his phenomenology as metaphysics (first science), starting from the transcendental subjectivity and highlighting whether "God" does not exceed or would be another foundation alongside the pure ego. From there, we try to stand out how the “God phenomenon” appears in his phenomenological system, verifying how this happens in his unpublished writings presented by Jocelyn Benoist and the opening for a metaphysical phenomenology with Jean Luc-Marion.
