Metafisica e spiritualità in Husserl.Il senso della fenomenologia tra "Ideen I" e "Meditazioni cartesiane"

This essay intends to deepen the spiritual and metaphysical relevance of phenomenology. In this perspective the work by Edmund Husserl is very important because he showed the radical meaning of human experience of truth through the rise to eidetic vision. Both on personal and communitarian plane, the method of reduction and the path toward this vision bring to light the dynamic structure of a spiritual relationship between consciousness, phenomenon and essence. While metaphysical plane concerns the knowledge, spiritual plane pertains to the way of life. Two works in particular are representative of this spiritual and metaphysical value of phenomenological method: we mean Ideen zu einer reinen Phänomenologie und phänomenologischen Philosophie and Cartesianische Meditationen. The essay recalls both the works and shows how in Husserl’s conception phenomenology is neither a complete metaphysics nor a post-metaphysical thought; rather it represents the spiritual opening of the path toward a rigorously grounded metaphysics.
