Abstract

This paper presents an interpretation of Husserl's phenomenological epoché or bracketing ( Einklammerung), which makes it possible to compare his position with philosophical programs developed within the framework of modern analytical philosophy. At the same time it asks in what sense Husserl's phenomenology is a form of idealism or exceeds the traditional discussion of idealism versus realism.
