Abstract
Because of beginning from the world of ego''s consciousness and emphasizing on staying in it, Husserl is accused to ignoring the absolute alterity of the "other" and reducing it to presence of consciousness. By reducing the "other" he lose the Ethics and so embeds the violence in phenomenological discourse. Here at first we''d introduce this critique, and then we''d try to defend him against this critique. Husserl at beginning introduces phenomenology so that it is disposed to this critique, but at his late works he emphasizes that we must extricate it from empirical dimension and develop it in eidetic manner. By embedding phenomenology in its eidetic realm we could reply to these critiques.
