[and] only appears once the ego is bracketed” (SPCG,126): it is also that the principle of givenness “withdraws primacy from the I’ (OFP,12); that, in the face of the saturated phenomenon, “[t]he ‘I’ loses its anteriority and finds itself, so to speak, deprived of the duties of constitution, and thus itself constituted: a ‘me’ rather than an I’” (SP,119/PS,121); that “the I is [now] experienced...

(ITN,37) The concept here is no longer the measure of intuition. Rather, phenomena are treated as absolutely irreducible: the only terms and conditions that apply are those of phenomenality itself; ultimately, there is no a priori.
