ABSTRACT
Special interest attaches to the axioms which are formulated in connection with the account of the relations of compatibility, as an illustration of the type of analysis provided by the phenomenological foundation of logic, which is not devoted alone to the analysis of judgment and meaning. It will always remain an indispensable aid in understanding the later phenomenological philosophy, both because it settles accounts with the then prevailing and traditional theories of knowledge and philosophies of logic, and because it provides the initial methodological steps and conceptual groundwork of the new philosophy. Not everything that is contained in it is indispensable from the point of view of the phenomenological philosophy, and some of it could readily be deleted as no longer of interest The technique that is necessary for such a philosophy of experience requires the elaboration of the phenomenological (transcendental) reduction, one of the themes of the Ideas and the Cartesian Meditations.
