Since ancient Greece,metaphysics has been the highest internal pursuit of western philosophy.However,from the standpoint of positivism,metaphysics is nothing but the confusion of our speculation.If human beings want to reach the highest stage of spirit,namely the positive stage,they must completely eliminate metaphysics,which requires the exclusion of the "intervention" of human as the subject.There is no doubt that metaphysics is the foundation of seeking the peaceful life of "man" since its birth,while positivism completely abandoned this original intention of metaphysics.The result is a crisis of science,culture,philosophy,reason and humanity in Europe.On the other hand,the original intention of positivism is to respond to the problems of fact and truth which have been bothering western philosophy,so it puts forward the principle of "positivism spirit".But instead of solving the problem,positivists are stuck in a blind faith in facts.For this reason,Husserl put forward his transcendental phenomenology(or transcendental phenomenology)in a clear and distinct way,trying to overcome the traditional problems of modern western philosophy through phenomenology,and to "become a strict science" to standardize philosophy itself,in order to realize philosophy as a real metaphysical ideal.Therefore,Husserl’s criticism of positivism is of great significance to his establishment of transcendental phenomenology.In this paper,the author will clarify that positivism essentially avoids the problem domain of traditional Western philosophy,and then point out that Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology,on the basis of criticizing positivism,not only solves the crux left by positivism trend of thought,but also provides a feasible solution to the fundamental problems troubling modern Western philosophy. |
