TOURINHO, Carlos Diógenes Cortes. The critique of Husserl’s phenomenology the positivist view in humanities. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.2, pp. 131-136. ISSN 1809-6867.

The present paper focuses around the specificity of the phenomenological attitude and the methodological strategy adopted by the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl in the Twentieth Century. Such attitude is reflective and analitical, from which one seeks to fundamentally elucidate, identify and distinguish the sense of things. Impelled by the slogan of the “return to the things itself”, the phenomenology of Husserl adopts, through a methodological point of view, the call “phenomenological reduction”, that is, the suspension of the judgement in relation to the natural world, to recover it, in the consciousness, in an indubitable way, in his pure meaning. Contrasting the attitude phenomenological with what Husserl called “natural attitude”, the paper addressed then the critique of phenomenology to perspective positivist in humanities.

Keywords : Phenomenology; Humanities; Edmund Husserl; Positivism.
