Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Phenomenology of Perception What is phenomenology? It may seem strange that this question has still to be asked half a century after the first works of Husserl. The fact remains that it has by no means been answered.Phenomenology is the study of essences; and according to it, all problems amount to finding definitions of essences: the essence of perception, or the essence of consciousness, for example. But phenomenology is also a philosophy which puts essences back into existence, and does not expect to arrive at an understanding of man and the world from any starting point other than that of their ´facticity´. It is a transcendental philosophy which places in abeyance the assertions arising out of the natural attitude, the better to understand them; but it is also a philosophy for which the world is always ´already there´ before reflection begins - as´an inalienable presence; and all its efforts are concentrated upon re-achieving a direct and primitive contact with the world, and endowing that contact with a philosophical status. It is the search for a philosophy which shall be a ´rigorous science´, but it also offers an account of space, time and the world as we ´live´ them. It tries give a direct description of our experience as it is, without taking account of its psychological origin and the causal explanations which the scientist, historian or the or the sociologist may be able to provide. Yet Husserl in his last works mentions a ´genetic phenomenology´, and even a ´constructive phenomenology´. One may try to do away with these contradictions by making a distinction between Husserl´s and Heidegger´s phenomenologies; yet the whole of Sein und Zeit springs from an indication given by Husserl and amounts to no more than an explicit account of the ´naturlicher Weltbegriff´ or the ´Lebenswelt´ which Husserl, towards the end of his life, identified as the central theme of phenomenology, with the result that the contradiction reappears in Husserl´s own philosophy. The reader pressed for time will be inclined to give up the idea of covering a doctrine which says everything, and will wonder whether a philosophy which cannot define its scope deserves all the discussion which has gone on around it, and whether he is not faced rather by a myth or a fashion.
