The Cartesian Méditations are the retranscription of four conferences pronounced with the Sorbonne the February 23rd and 25th 1929 by Husserl. These conferences were marked in German.

The work has as a subtitle Introduction to phenomenology , but it is not absolutely there about the first work of the author on this subject (in particular the Ideen I). Husserl takes again the modified step of the Méditations metaphysics of Descartes to build the building of the Phénoménologie transcendantale.

It will be noted that two versions of the text exist in French: that of the translation Levinas and that of the Husserliana. The translation in French by Emmanuel Levinas is based on a German original now lost, contrary to Husserliana whose German version was preserved. It happens that the two texts differ.

The work is divided into five meditations preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion.

  1. Introduction
  2. routing towards the “ego” transcendantal
  3. the field of experiment transcendantale and its general structures
  4. constitutive problems. Truth and reality
  5. Fourth meditation
  6. Determination of the transcendantal field like “monadologic intersubjectivity”
Conclusion

Introduction

Husserl initially briefly presents Descartes and the Meditations. According to him what imports at Descartes it is the guiding idea of a “total reform of philosophy” to make “a science with absolute bases of it”. The Philosophy, conceived like “universal unit of sciences rising on an absolute base”, will take the form of a philosophy directed towards the prone . By the Doubt, Descartes will clarify it me pure reflections, the only reality which one will not be able to doubt will be the ego cogito (prone transcendantal) of the cogitationes .

The author then notes the state of crisis of sciences of his time, “blocked in their progress by the darkness which even reigns in their bases”. This crisis is also redoubled of a state of major division of philosophy. Establishing a parallel between this situation and that met by Descartes in its youth, Husserl proposes a return to the Méditations Metaphysics, or at least to their spirit, since phenomenology transcendantale rejects the quasi-integrality of the doctrinal contents of the Cartésianisme.
