Affinities between phenomenology and certain recurrent procedures in the history of Buddhist thought – notably the methodical step back to the immediate data of consciousness – are particularly marked in reflection on the self. Husserl in the first edition of Logische Untersuchungen and Sartre in La transcendance de l’ego come close to the Buddhist insight of non-self as they uncover a level of awareness that is without self or personhood. But both thinkers withdrew from this insight in later works, as the influence of the Cartesian cogito and the Kantian-Fichtean transcendental ego reasserted itself. Buddhist reflection on self and non-self has come to explicit prominence among contemporary philosophers in both analytical and phenomenological approaches, sometimes rejoining the most thorough Buddhist suspicion of the unity or self-presence of consciousness itself, at a level more radical than Husserl or Sartre.
