ABSTRACT
Phenomenology is a philosophy of experience and its specificity can be found in the process of returning to experience. For Husserl, experience is the manifestation of things themselves, their occurrence in evidence, the place of all given beings and of all legitimation, the primum real. It evidentiates the affinities and divergencies between phenomenology and modern empirism regarding the need to return to experience as the original foundation of knowledge; it points that phenomenology can overcome mistakes and contradictions of empirism. According to Husserl, in order to aprehend experience in act, it is necessary to have an adequate method: the epoché and phenomenological reduction are the keys to unravel transcendental phenomenology. The example of phenomenological analysis of the perceptive world (a layer of the world of experience) evidentiates what it means to enter the terrain of imanence, or pure experience taken phenomenologically, to give reason to the constitution of every being(AU)
