ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to explain what such “knowledge” and “method” are and then discuss the methodological significance of eidetic variation. The quote perfectly expresses the three notions at stake in any eidetic knowledge: there must obtain an articulation of concepts into a statement, spelling out a law and validated by the so-called intuition of essence. The eidetic universality can be applied, say, or transferred to something individual posited as “existing”. In so doing, “The state of affairs posited as actual is then a matter of fact insofar as it is an individual and actual state of affairs; it is, however, an eidetic necessity insofar as it is a singularization of an essential universality”. Husserl describes “eidetic truths” as those truths “valid in an unconditional universality and necessity for everything possible as well as for everything authenticating itself as actual in actually occurring experience”.
