Abstract
Heinrich Rombach indicates from a critical perspective the theoretical problems in Husserl’s concept of transcendental ego as well as the tension in the concept of Lebenswelt. According to him, phenomenological questioning does not primarily lie in the fixation on transcendental structure of consciousness, but in a real living world, preceding all categorical distinctions and encompassing them. Husserl’s phenomenology of the world, which is based on transcendental subjectivity, should therefore be extended to “structural phenomenology”. Through this critique becomes clearly visible, on the one hand, the transformation of Husserl’s thought path; on the other hand, if we consider Husserl’s phenomenology as a part of the critical and historical phenomenology, which is to be surpassed, the very critique can be seen as a dynamic in the progress of thought.
