Transcendental Philosophy and the Role of Intentionality in the Phenomenologycal Grounding of Psychology

This investigation will examine the transcendental primacy of the conscious being in the phenomenological grounding of neuroscience. It’s also going to propose a new understanding of the conscious being within the external actuality of behavior. This thesis will challenge the traditional understanding of the conscious as an internal property of the body, and propose that through behaving it can be conceived as the metaphysical principle of the world. First, I’m going to look at Husserl’s phenomenology to see how he treats consciousness. Then, I am going to see if we can transcendentally ground consciousness outside Husserl’s egological definition and in the sphere of pure behaving. Thirdly, I’m going to investigate neuroscience from a transcendental phenomenological perspective.
