Husserl's transcendental-phenomenological reduction is aimed at discovering

  • A.Empirical ego
  • B.Phenomenological ego
  • C.Intersubjective ego
  • D.Transcendental ego

Answer: D

The transcendental-phenomenological reduction aims at discovering the transcendental ego, option D. By suspending the natural attitude (epoché) Husserl brackets the existence of the world and arrives at pure consciousness, the transcendental subject in which the world is constituted.

The empirical ego (option A) is the person in the world, which is bracketed. The phenomenological ego (option B) is not the usual name for the result. The intersubjective ego (option C) comes later, in his treatment of other minds and the community of monads. The key names the transcendental ego.
