metadata.value: In the paper, we discuss the consequences of the phenomenological reduction introduced by E. Husserl
  who intended to apply it for refuting relativism and skepticism, which were the prevailing trends
  in the Western European philosophy of his time. According to him, what was true was so absolutely
  and regardless of any circumstances. To discover such truths, he proposed phenomenological reduction
  which he regarded a modernized Cartesian method of doubt.
  Like Descartes, Husserl believed that the absolute truth has to be indubitable. The phenomenological
  reduction demonstrated that only the existence of the transcendental ego is indubitable. This
  result corresponds to Descartes’s idea of his sum cogito indubitableness. However, unlike Descartes,
  Husserl took into account that cogito has an intentional structure: every act of consciousness is directed
  at an object. Husserl called the objects of acts of consciousness intentional objects, or phenomena.
  The world of phenomena is included in the content of the transcendental ego and is immanent to it. The phenomenal world “duplicates” the transcendental world of the natural objects, but, unlike
  the latter, exists indubitably. Thus, Husserl came to the conclusion that the phenomenal world has an
  apodictic existence while the existence of the world of nature is only problematic.
  But what about other egos? Husserl believed that they had a transcendental existence independent
  of sum cogito. In his opinion, this is evidenced by the special appresentation in in the composition
  of sum cogito, which is an analogous apperception. According to Husserl, sum cogito together with
  other egos forms a community of monads, in which it is a minor central monad. However, we argue
  that the analogous apperception is incapable of giving an obvious and unquestionable testimony that
  other egos exist transcendently. The result is that the phenomenological reduction leads to a kind of
  transcendental solipsism, when the central monad has an apodictic existence, and all peripheral monads
  are only problematic. Refs 11.
