Nevertheless, psychology was the science which strongly had direct influence of phenomenology which, in its turn, provided the possibility of developing a phenomenological psychology. The aim of this thesis is to (re)constitute, from a historical-critical point of view, the conception of phenomenological psychology in Husserl s last work: The Crisis of European Sciences and the Transcendental Phenomenology (Die Krisis der europ?ischen Wissenchaften und die transzendentale Ph?nomenologie. Eine Einleitung in die ph?nomenologische Philosophie). At present, psychologists are developing a large number of versions of phenomenological psychology, particularly in Brazil; however, none of them have rigorously been based on Husserl s concepts. Thus, in order to have an understanding of what constitutes to Husserl a phenomenological psychology, we present, to start with, a brief introduction to the transcendental phenomenology, explaining the variations of the phenomenological method (i. e. phenomenological levels). After that, we point out the most meaningful aspects of Husserl s last piece of writing, concentrating our efforts on the revelation the philosopher makes concerning a crisis of the sciences and of reason, as well as his phenomenological criticism on epistemology of Psychology. At last, following Husserl s analyses of phenomenology and psychology, we conclude that the conception of phenomenological psychology will constitute a universal science of human beings whose object of study is the animistic being. This science will have basic functions such as: a) the rebuilding of the scientific psychology and the explanation of the psychological concepts; b) the constitution of a universal science of the psychic; c) the description of the intentional experiences and d) be a propaedeutic discipline for the transcendental phenomenology. For Husserl, the authentic and genuine conception of the phenomenological psychology is important to the psychologists since that it is through the development of this discipline that they will recover the subjectivity as the original source of human life and its correlation with the world-life. / O fil?sofo alem?o Edmund Husserl (1859-1938), fundador da Fenomenologia, foi um dos principais pensadores do s?culo XX, que influenciou tanto as correntes filos?ficas de seu tempo quanto as ci?ncias em geral. No entanto, a psicologia foi a que mais recebeu influ?ncia direta da fenomenologia, a qual proporcionou a essa ci?ncia a possibilidade de desenvolver uma psicologia fenomenol?gica. A finalidade dessa tese ? (re) constituir, a partir de uma leitura hist?rico-cr?tica, a concep??o de psicologia fenomenol?gica na ?ltima obra de Husserl: A Crise das Ci?ncias Europ?ias e a Fenomenologia Transcendental (Die Krisis der europ?ischen Wissenchaften und die transzendentale Ph?nomenologie. Eine Einleitung in die ph?nomenologische Philosophie). Atualmente, os psic?logos est?o desenvolvendo muitas vers?es de psicologia fenomenol?gica, principalmente no Brasil, por?m nenhuma delas tem se fundamentado rigorosamente nas conceitua??es de Husserl. Assim, para termos uma compreens?o do que constitui para Husserl uma psicologia fenomenol?gica, apresentamos, de in?cio, uma breve introdu??o ? fenomenologia transcendental, explicitando as varia??es do m?todo fenomenol?gico (n?veis fenomenol?gicos). Em seguida, destacamos os pontos principais do ?ltimo escrito de Husserl, concentrando-nos na den?ncia que o fil?sofo faz de uma crise das ci?ncias e da raz?o bem como sua cr?tica fenomenol?gica ? epistemologia da Psicologia. Por fim, seguindo as an?lises de Husserl sobre a fenomenologia e a psicologia, conclu?mos que a concep??o de psicologia fenomenol?gica se constituir? em uma ci?ncia universal do seres humanos cujo objeto de estudo ? o ser an?mico. Esta ci?ncia tem como fun??es b?sicas: a) a reformula??o da psicologia cient?fica; o esclarecimento dos conceitos psicol?gicos; b) a constitui??o de uma ci?ncia universal do ps?quico; c) a descri??o das viv?ncias intencionais e; d) ser uma disciplina proped?utica ? fenomenologia transcendental. Para Husserl, a aut?ntica e genu?na concep??o de psicologia fenomenol?gica ? importante para os psic?logos, porque ? com o desenvolvimento dessa disciplina que eles poder?o resgatar a subjetividade como fonte origin?ria da vida humana e a sua correla??o com o mundo-da-vida (Lebenswelt).
