Research Abstract	The phenomenological movement is one of most important philosophical movements in the 20th century which has much great influence on many fields of science. My aim of the research project is to interpret the inherent ideas which came into existence on the fundaments of the Husserl's transcendental philosophy and has changed itself under the urge of the problems and has held its tenacious strength under the continual critiques, confrontations, branchings and integrations. Main purposes of the project lie in the following points: (1)To probe the discrepancy between Husserl's program of his transcendental philosophy and his factual philosophical analyses, and to understand the significances of his analyses of the 'Arbeitsphilosophy' which have groped for the solutions of the problems. (2)To reconsider the Heidegger's Critique against Husserl in the light of whole phenomenological movement. (3)To study Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology under the viewpoint which differs from Husserl's and Heidegger's method of the philosophical thinking, and to throw light on the many facets of his philosophy which has influenced the development of the phenomenology after two phenomenologists. In Fundamentals of phenomenology I draws a rough plan of the phenomenological movement and argue the its historical situation in the western philosophy first. Then I discuss the themes of 'experience, life and knowledge', 'meaning and reality', 'reduction and interpretation as the phenomenological methodology', 'subjectivity and transcendentality', 'temporaity', 'life-world', 'body', 'others and intercubjectivity', 'ethics', 'history and sociality' and 'actual significances of phenomenology.
