Psychology Without a Soul: the Ego in Husserlian Phenomenology
Research abstract

In the first edition of his Logical Investigations, Edmund Husserl rejects the idea of a pure Ego that would unify conscious experiences. A decade later, the author republishes this work informed by his subsequent thought. In this new edition, Husserl adds a note stating that he has learned, since then, to find the pure Ego he had once rejected. This seemingly sharp turn in the author's understanding of the Ego is seen by some scholars as a rupture in Husserl's thought. There are those, however, who understand this change as the obvious conclusion of a project started in the Investigations. This research aims, then, to clarify the idea of the Ego and its development in Husserl's work between 1900 and 1913.
