Summary
What Dominique Pagani mainly takes from Husserl is the epoché, the "great theoretical parenthesis" that brackets the immediate world, urgent concerns and practical aims so that rigorous inquiry becomes possible12. He regards the critique of psychologism as Husserl's main contribution3. He links the return to the things themselves to Husserlian phenomenology and sees it as already present in the Cartesian moment. He reads "all consciousness is consciousness of something" as a statement of epistemic caution. Following Clouscard, he treats Husserl, together with Sartre, as a representative of neo-Kantianism: his egology loses the distinction between subject and object, and his phenomenology of the giving of meaning stands opposed to Hegelian phenomenology, which he presents as the first phenomenology4. He describes the Phenomenology of Spirit as the absolute negation of modern phenomenology. Lastly, he recalls that Husserl was Heidegger's teacher, and that Heidegger stopped shaking his hand.

In his early work, he elaborated critiques of historicism and of psychologism in logic based on analyses of intentionality. In his mature work, he sought to develop a systematic foundational science based on the so-called phenomenological reduction. Arguing that transcendental consciousness sets the limits of all possible knowledge, Husserl redefined phenomenology as a transcendental idealist philosophy. […]
