Husserl's phenomenology—grounded in the claim that universal truth requires a transcendent subjectivity beyond cultural determination—becomes crucial for thinking through the gap between objective, third-person scientific paradigms and first-person embodied consciousness. Derrida's reading of Husserl's *Origin of Geometry* allows the course to interrogate how meaning and intersubjectivity emerge precisely where computational or physicochemical models of intelligence fail to account for lived experience. This tension between phenomenological consciousness and mechanistic systems becomes foundational for examining AI's blind spots regarding embodied human understanding.
