ABSTRACT

The main goal of Radical Epokhe article demonstrates that the unavoidable apparition of the ego within the field of the reflected consciousness does not imply the impossibility of modifying Husserl's Epokhe in a way that leads consciousness to face its own actual impersonality. It also begins with the definition of impure reflection, which has two main dimensions that must be explores namely transgression and inversion. Impure reflection is determines the tendency to posit too much, to constitute transcendent objects through an act of transgressing what is actually and really given to reflection. There are two different accounts of pure reflection in The Transcendence of the Ego: a minimal, more formal version, which describes at the very beginning of the second part of the book, and a second, more developed version, which is to be found in the conclusion. The transcendental reduction Sartre describes as a pure reflective act, which would present itself to itself as a non-personal spontaneity.
