Abstract

Within the scope of a comprehensive investigation about the historical development of the term "reduction", this paper specially takes the genesis of that development into consideration. The present study analyses and explicates the pre-conceptual use of the phenomenological reduction according to the early manuscript fragment F I 6/129, referring to the Seefelder Manuskripte as well as to the five lectures Die Idee der Phänomenologie. This analysis challenges the traditional date given for the first use of "reduction" as a phenomenological method by understanding the motivation behind its genesis more precisely and outlining the focus on the historical development from the first methodological approach to the concept of reduction within Husserl's early epistemological phenomenology.
