Abstract

In this paper the different meanings of teleology in E. Husserl’s phenomenology are treated, notably the three thematic rubrics of the teleological: the teleology of history, the ethical teleology and the teleology of intentionality (immanent teleology of the experience). The following common features of the diverse teleological investigations are determined: concordance, completeness, infi nity (i.e. the infi nite tasks). On this ground we conclude on the fundamental role of teleology within the intentional analysis of consciousness and on its key-role in the passage towards the phenomenological attitude.

Key words

Teleology of history, ethical teleology, teleology of intentionality, immanent teleology of experience, concordance, completeness, infinite tasks, phenomenological attitude.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine the affective dimension of recollection on the basis of Husserl’s “Analyses concerning passive synthesis”. In our view, the distinction between active and passive constitution, provided in the genetic phenomenology of E. Husserl, opens up a possibility to consider the problems of memory and subjective identity not as merely cognitive, but also as essentially affective phenomena. In this context, affectivity describes the realm of pre-predicative and pre-cognitive experience that precedes and makes possible the explicit and thematic correlation between subject and world. Our claim is that the affective level of subjective life is not limited to the sphere of the living present, but includes the dimension of past life as well, without which it would not be possible to speak of a subjectivity as having the experience. In order to investigate the affective component of recollection, the article explores the distinction between the act of recollection and the “affective awakening of the past”, the conditions of such reproductive awakening, and the phenomenological analysis of affective dimension of recollection as a means to understand the phenomenon of implicit memory.

Key words

Memory, recollection, affectivity, identity, subjectivity, phenomenology.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show the mutual dependence between Husserlian concepts of the “idea in the Kantian sense” and the principle of contradiction, through the reading of Husserl’s texts concerning the “proof (Beweis) of transcendental idealism” from 1913 to 1915.

Key words

Idea in the Kantian sense, real possibility, merely ideal possibility, displacement (Aufschub), law of contradiction, reality, transcendental idealism.

Abstract

Why do I have to be ethical? That is the essential question of a logical foundation of ethics in the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl. This article proposes to see the basic motivation of an ethical reason in the relationship between the two fundamental poles, that is the “Lifeworld” (“Lebenswelt”) and the “I-subject” (“Ich-Subjekt”). This connection will be considered to constitute ethics in this article. This kind of ethics as a “condition of possibility” is then an a-priori ontological necessity. The article will demonstrate how the composition of Husserl’s Prolegomena and his argumentation are an example of a foundation for phenomenological ethics: in this book Husserl derived logic as the fi rst “condition of possibility”. With logic’s three main characteristics — theory, normativity and praxis — it is the theoretical basis of a phenomenological ethics.

Key words

Ethics, Husserl’s phenomenology, logic, foundation, condition of possibility, life-world, I-subject.

Abstract

The article deals with the concepts of hermeneutic circle and “Voraussetzungslosigkeit” principle in Husserl and Heidegger. It examines the question, if an introduction of the concept of hermeneutic circle in Heidegger is to be treated as an abandon of the “Voraussetzungslosigkeit” principle in phenomenology or hermeneutic circle and “Voraussetzungslosigkeit” principle somehow coexist in Husserl’s and Heidegger’s methodological refl ections.

Key words

Husserl, Heidegger, phenomenology, hermeneutics, hermeneutic circle, “Voraussetzungslosigkeit” principle.

Abstract

The article analyzes M. Heidegger’s conception of Province. This subject plays a particularly signifi cant role in Germany, although it is also important in the rest of Europe. Heidegger is keeping on the original Latin semantics: he opposes the Parent State, or Metropolis (patria major) and Province (outer space connected to the Parent State only by statute). This kind of opposition contains some very important aspects of Heidegger’s philosophy, namely: primary nature and secondary nature, interiority (as identity) and exteriority (as formality), ability to move and to be moved, human conditions and state conditions. Especially important is for Heidegger’s thinking such a phenomenon as “Parent State ness”/”Nativeness”. He thinks over this subject through the prism oh the German Romantics and stresses such points as the fi eld of spiritual nearness (Heimat) which should make the soil for the Patria as the Land of the Ancestors (Vaterland).

Key words

Heidegger, metaphysics, province, opposition of city/hamlet, privacy, thinking, identity.

Abstract

In this chapter Alexander Schnell considers Edmund Husserl’s manuscripts on the problem of internal consciousness of the 1917–1918 period. In this part the author suggests the theming of “protofeelings” and pre-immanent temporality, descent in the pre-immanent sphere and problematization of protoprocess status in constituting consciousness-time, rejection of the scheme “prehension/content of prehension” and transition to research of the nature of temporal modification itself, specifically of retential modifications of hyletic cores.

Key words

Levels of temporality, prehension/content of prehension, pre-immanent temporality, protoprocess, “phenomenon of subsidence”.

Abstract

This paper attempts to define what is meant by metaphysics of Husserl, from the standpoint of which such fundamental concepts of phenomenology as “phenomenon” and “experience” should be reinterpreted. The question about how categories of experience should be interpreted in phenomenology should be placed in the center of reasoning related to this question.

Key words

Metaphysics of facticity, intentionality, spontaneous formation of sense, event phenomenon, fulfilment of experience.

Abstract

In his memoirs Husserl describes his happy, but far from simple relationship with his teacher F. Brentano. On the one hand, figure of Brentano was decisive in formation of young Husserl’s conception of philosophy as strict science. On the other – unambiguously determined position of the teacher confused the disciple in his early philosophical investigations.
Nevertheless, Husserl showed his admiration for Brentano as a philosopher and man, who always supported him, throughout his life.

Key words

F. Brentano, memoirs, mathematical strictness of philosophy, German idealism.

Abstract

In accordance with the wording of the main topic of the conference, participants of the event offered an examination of the problem of apriority in different perspectives and limits of different methodological bases. Views on apriority revealed an ambivalence of the concept — a paradox related to the diversity a priori; a priori in logical and transcendental sense; the closest in concept that can be reached only through the farthest; the character of relation to a priori on which depends the recognition or rejection of ontological or metaphysical understanding of philosophy. A number of reports were dedicated to the role of apriority in theology, everyday life, evolution biology.

Key words

A priori, conditions of concernment of cognition, veracity of experience, element of consciousness, senses of mind.

Abstract

Participants of the conference attempted to define the place of ontology in the historic-philosophical tradition as well as in modern philosophical thought: from redefining its role as main philosophical discipline to specification of the meaning of the term “ontology” and defining its subject. A number of reports touched on such topics as ontological grounds of consciousness, correlation of ontology and dialectics, ontology and transcendentalism, nature of time as the basis of ontology; idea of ontology not as philosophical science among others, but instead as what is related to representation and is even before the formation of science.

Key words

Ontology, being, existing, transcendence, dialectics, ontological turn.

Abstract

Modern French phenomenology has adopted two fundamental moments from late Heidegger’s texts: “phenomenology of the invisible” or “implicit” and problematization of event as a pattern of all kinds of phenomena. Peculiarity of phenomenological tradition resulted in a reconsideration of the concept of the phenomenon and its transformation into event, view on phenomenology as “real philosophy” that caused the second after theological “turn in the tradition”, analysis of problems of the body and speech as well as the key role of ethical (practical) and theological problems.

Key words

Jean-Luc Marion, M. Riсhir, phenomenon, event, phenomenology of the given, phenomenology of spontaneous formation of sense, intuitivism.

Abstract

The analysis of Leibniz’s heritage and phenomenology of virtuality in the title of this conference do not exhaust the whole variety of topics, but rather are the poles between which the discussion has been developing. Monadology of Leibniz became the place of concurrence of absolute identity and unique ecstatic that gave rise to a specific discourse of virtuality.

Key words

Leibniz, monadology, virtual, apperception, animal, mirror, time.

Abstract

Karlsson’s book is dedicated to epistemological justification of main concepts of psychoanalysis: libido, unconsciousness and attraction. The central and main part of the book is devoted to the problem of conceptualization of mental, which the author sees in the definition and interpretation of the concept of the unconsciousness in psychoanalysis. Phenomenological tradition is used here as an instrumental apparatus and accompanying tradition, but the book, investigating points of similarities and gaps between two traditions, is one of the variants of scientific cooperation of phenomenology with psychoanalysis.

Key words

Psychoanalysis, unconsciousness, phenomenology, life-world, philosophy of mind, phenomenological psychology.

Abstract

This paper is a philosophical analysis of self-consciousness taking into account the achievements of modern sciences about consciousness. The author’s research interest focuses on problems of analysis of the first-person thinking and self-consciousness (self-consciousness and linguistic self-reference), disclosure of forms of primary preconceptual self-consciousness. External perception, where corporeality sets the boundaries of the visual field; internal perception — proprioception that gives pre-reflective sense of arrangement of parts of the body in space and in relation to each other and sense of limbs’ motion and preconceptual prehension.

Key words

Analytic philosophy, phenomenology, linguistic self-reference, pre-conceptual self-consciousness, pre-conceptual prehension.

Abstract

Heidegger reads Aristotle's philosophy as the end and fulfillment of Greek thought. His work on Aristotle plays an important role in the genesis of his thought and has a formative influence on his unique understanding of phenomenology. Heidegger not only reads Aristotle as a phenomenological thinker, but also derives his own unique sense of phenomenology from his dialog with Aristotle. As in his Introduction to Being and Time, Heidegger speaks in this essay of the need for any ontologically fundamental approach to begin with a destruction of the history of philosophy. In 1922 essay was much of the philosophical vocabulary of Being and Time, words like Sorge, Besorgen, Umwelt, Umgang, Umsicht, Bedeutsamkeit, das Man, Verfallen and so on. It is the first Russian translation of Heidegger’s essay made by Artemenko N.

Key words

Phenomenology, facticity, destruction, care, Being, Beingness, hermeneutic phenomenology, Aristotle.
