ABSTRACT
According to the infinite regulative idea of science, scientific knowledge has to be objective, that is to say valid for any subject independent of its particular state. A serious objection to the project of naturalizing transcendental philosophy has been advanced by Edmund Husserl. According to Husserl, the transcendental structures cannot be naturalized since they are themselves the conditions of possibility for what we understand by nature. Husserl's interdiction regarding the naturalization of transcendental philosophy is the specular image of Kant's interdiction regarding a science of noumena. The hybrid notion of phenoumenon combines both phenomenal and noumenal dimensions. The noumenality of a phenoumenon results from the fact that every phenoumenon is always in excess with respect to any of its possible objectivations. While the Kantian noumenon is withdrawn from any form of manifestation, a phenoumenon does manifest itself, but in a manner that overflows any possible objectivation.
