%X Weltanschauung and Wissenschaft between Edmund Husserl and Sigmund Freud - Comparing Edmund Husserl¡¯s and Sigmund Freud¡¯s approach to the conflict between the philosophy of ¡°Weltanschauung¡± and the scientific method is not only possible but also useful for epistemological reasons. Two main texts will be considered in this paper: Husserl¡¯s Philosophie als strenge Wissenschaft (1911) and Freud¡¯s last lessons on Einleitung in die Psychoanalyse (1932). Both Husserl and Freud have a radically negative approach to ¡°Weltanschauung" Freud objecting primarily to religious ideology and Husserl to any kind of relativism, skepticism or historicism. But a very deep difference is also apparent in their common critical approach. While Husserl points to the philosophical science of phenomenology with its eidetic intuition, Freud¡¯s idea of science is based on the intellectual elaboration of those facts which are made objects of observation. This also means that Husserl¡¯s science aims for a supra-temporal level, while Freud¡¯s proposes a pattern of ongoing research continuously extending into the future.
