On the relationship between the Cartesian and the ontological way to the transcendental reduction in the phenomenological philosophy of Edmund Husserl

Storgaard, Asbjørn LU (2014) In Journal of Media, Cognition and Communication = Tidsskrift for Medier, Erkendelse og Formidling 2(1). p.37-52
Abstract
This paper assesses a discussion on how to understand the relationship between Husserl’s Cartesian way and the later ontological way to the transcendental reduction: Is the Cartesian way flawed to the extent that the ontological way constitutes a principal correction to it, or is the ontological way a logical completion of an insufficient but nonetheless necessary Cartesian way? A reading with the purpose of rendering probable that this discussion allows for a third alternative is proposed in this paper. Such a reading claims that both ways are individually sufficient. The ontological way is thus taken to be a clarification of certain underemphasised though not principally missing elements of the Cartesian way.
