On the Epoché in Phenomenological Psychology: A Schutzian Response to Zahavi

A critical account of Husserl's theory of the reduction using his later manuscripts: the natural attitude, the different ways into the reduction and the tension between its Cartesian and life-world paths.

Sebastian Luft

A leading Husserl scholar explains how the epoché and the reduction lead from everyday life to philosophical thinking, and how the phenomenological, eidetic and transcendental reductions relate.

Rudolf Bernet

Follows step by step how Husserl actually carried out the reduction in his lectures on The Idea of Phenomenology, ending with the correlation of noesis and noema. A clear way into a notoriously hard idea.

Juha Himanka

A plain explanation of the epoché, or bracketing, as Husserl's method, traced back to Descartes' methodic doubt, with the debate over whether it leads to idealism.

Omotayo Oladebo

Reads the phenomenological reduction through two motives, a dogmatic search for certainty and a critical search for the least possible dogmatism, and argues for the critical version.
