The paths or ways to the transcendental reduction are a pivotal phenomenological notion in Husserl’s philosophy. The metaphor of path, in fact, alludes to the demonstrative proofs of transcendental phenomenology. Nonetheless, Husserlian scholarship has not yet been able to end the disputes surrounding this topic, and as a result, competing interpretations continue to prevail. Since existing theories about the paths have not yet been cataloged or analyzed in their global context, I intend to classify the main existing theories about the paths and evaluate the trend established by Iso Kern. Thus, this paper answers the following questions: how many kinds of theories about the paths are there? And, how plausible is the trend and approach initiated by Kern? In order to evaluate each theory, I will compare the interpretation with its exemplary cases. The key contribution of this investigation is therefore twofold: to distinguish with unequivocal concepts the two main trends of hermeneutical theories in play and to evaluate the plausibility of the aforementioned Kernian one. The paper also attempts to show that the hermeneutical approach initiated by Kern has no contextual examples for its conceptual scheme and should consequently be abandoned in favor of an alternative solution.

还原路径理论的批判性分类

先验还原的路径或途径是胡塞尔哲学中一个关键的现象学概念。事实上，路径的隐喻暗指先验现象学的论证证明。尽管如此，胡塞尔的学术尚未能够结束围绕这个话题的争论，因此，相互竞争的解释继续盛行。由于有关路径的现有理论尚未在其全球背景下编目或分析，我打算对现有的主要路径理论进行分类并评估 Iso Kern 建立的趋势。因此，本文回答了以下问题：关于路径的理论有多少种？而且，Kern 发起的趋势和方法的可信度如何？为了评估每个理论，我将其解释与其示范案例进行比较。因此，这项调查的关键贡献是双重的：以明确的概念区分正在发挥作用的解释学理论的两个主要趋势，并评估上述克尔主义理论的合理性。该论文还试图表明，由克恩发起的解释学方法没有其概念方案的上下文示例，因此应该放弃以支持替代解决方案。
