Abstract

The article examines the problem of the relationship between critical and dogmatic types of thinking in the context of the project of scientific philosophy created by Husserl. The point of view is expressed according to which the program of science teaching of Husserl was not completed at the end of the descriptive stage, but, on the contrary, was continued and expanded at the stage of transcendental phenomenology. Based on the material of the first part of the lectures “First Philosophy” belonging to this stage, it is demonstrated how Husserl, with the help of historical-eidetic reduction and the concept of the unity of motivation, outlines the way for the “naïve” philosopher to master the principles of critical thinking. These principles, coupled with phenomenological reduction, form a special disposition of the dogmatic and the critical in the project of phenomenology as a rigorous science, where the dogmatic and the critical merge into the fundamental requirement of the philosopher's self-reflection and responsibility.
