近數十年來，在自身意識的領域中，海德堡學派的研究成為重點成果。亨利希提出所謂自身意識反思模式及其乞題疑難，其後，以弗蘭克為例，運用否定表述反思模式的論證，檢視與批評相關的哲學思想，包括胡塞爾所論自身意識。對胡塞爾而言，自身意識具非對象性與前反思性等特徵。為了避免產生無限後退的問題，自身意識與關於某物的意識之間的關係應為非對象的。前反思性則涉及自身意識與反思的關係，即在反思之前，自身意識已發生過，並因此做為反思的可能性前提。在胡塞爾這裡，自身意識的非對象性與前反思性是兩個不同的特徵，既無關自身意識如何形成的闡釋，也無關解決乞題疑難的方案。是故，以否定表述反思模式的論證批評胡塞爾所論自身意識實無適切之處。 In recent decades, the Heidelberg School's contribution has become the focus in the philosophical research of self-consciousness. Henrich addressed the reflection model and its problem of begging the question. Later, for example, Frank used the method ex negative for the reflection model to review and judge the relative theories of the self-consciousness, including Husserl's analysis. For Husserl, the self-consciousness is non-objective and pre-reflective. In order to avoid the problem of the infinite regress, the relation between the self-consciousness and the consciousness of something should be non-objective. The pre-reflectivity refers to the relation between the self-consciousness and the reflection, that is to say, before the reflection, the self-consciousness has been taken place and is thus its precondition. In Husserl's philosophy, the non-objectivity and the pre-reflectivity of the self-consciousness are different characteristics that neither concern the explanation for how the self-consciousness is formed nor solve the problem of begging the question. Therefore, it is not appropriate to criticize the Husserl's analysis of the self-consciousness with the method ex negative for the reflection model.
