This paper deals with the idea of presuppositionless philosophy, thereby focusing on Husserl and Hegel. While striving to realize this age-old idea, they adopt different strategies, based on epistemological foundationalism and coherentism respectively. Husserl follows the Cartesian tradition to search for an indubitable foundation and absolute beginning on which to build a rigorous system of knowledge. Hegel, however, rejects the possibility of immediate knowledge or presuppositionless beginning, and maintains that the characterization of presuppositionlessness can only be applied to the system as a whole. After briefly reviewing Descartes' foundationalist idea, the paper examines Husserl's attempt to realize it through his phenomenological method. It then proceeds to analyze Hegel's criticism of the demand of an absolute foundation, explaining how he reinterprets the idea of presuppositionlessness in his speculative philosophy. The paper ends with some remarks on Husserl's later development.
