The aim of this paper is understand Husserl’s “Platonism” through an understanding of how the method of eidetic variation and a phenomenological conception of essences reformulates by means of a conceptual and historical translation Plato’s doctrine of essences. In arguing that a theory of essences and method for the discovery of essences proves indispensable to a proper conception of phenomenology, Husserl positions himself as a philosophical “friend of essences” without thereby adopting a Platonic conception of essences. In addition to a reconstruction of Husserl’s image of Plato and the historical tradition, this paper examines the pivotal role played by “variation” and “manifold” in Husserl’s distinctive understanding of essences.

Der Meister der Wesensschau 胡塞尔柏拉图中没有柏拉图主义的翻译行为

本文的目的是通过理解本质变异的方法和现象学的本质概念如何通过概念和历史翻译柏拉图的本质学说来重新表述胡塞尔的“柏拉图主义”。在论证本质的理论和发现本质的方法对于正确的现象学概念来说是必不可少的时，胡塞尔将自己定位为哲学的“本质之友”，而没有因此采用柏拉图的本质概念。除了对胡塞尔柏拉图形象和历史传统的重构之外，本文还考察了“变异”和“流形”在胡塞尔对本质的独特理解中所起的关键作用。
