Abstract

The paper deals with the dynamics of appearance, which is in a constant oscillation between being and seeming. This is an apodictical formal law of the life of consciousness: “so much seeming, so much Being”. In order to clarify this, we thematize a methodological proposal made by Johann Friedrich Herbart, which would be systematically applied by Edmund Husserl. The proposal consists in “leaving any object to oscillate between being and non-being”. By developing this proposal, we examine phenomenological work as a praxis aiming at the “enrichment of sense” and a “self-transformation of subjectivity”. We conclude the essay by providing some remarks on how phenomenology could fruitfully appropriate Herbart’s philosophical insights.

Key words

Appearance, being, oscillation, seeming, Herbart, Husserl.

Abstract

After reviewing the status of the concept of the phenomenon in Husserl’s phenomenology and the aim of successive attempts to reform, de-formalize, and to widen it, we show the difficulties of a method that, following the example of Jean-Luc Marion’s phenomenology, intends to connect the phenomenon directly to the revelation of an exteriority. We argue that, on the contrary, Marc Richir’s phenomenology, which strives to grasp the phenomenon as nothing-but-phenomenon, is more likely to capture the “meaning” of the phenomenological, and hence to help us orient in the field of problems that phenomenology encounters without always knowing how to tackle them. Yet, this extension of the phenomenon’s domain does not thereby encompass everything: there may well be certain issues that require a phenomenology without phenomenon; but the meaning of this cannot be determined before the complete reenvisioning of transcendental phenomenology.

Key words

Transcendantal phenomenology, phenomenality, Richir, Marion.

Abstract

Our interpretation of the notion of event aims to underline both its unpredictable constitution, and its faculty to place the subject in the symbolic order. The problematic will be mainly concerned about contributions in the field of contemporary phenomenology (Romano, 1998; Barbaras, 2012) and phenomenological psychopathology (Murakami, 2013), related to a certain lecture of the event that will lead us to revaluate the concept of transpassibility and convoke different approaches to it. These reflections will constantly be enlightened by the work of Henri Maldiney.

Key words

Event, transpassibility, experience, symbolic, desire, intentional, body.

Abstract

A genesis of the ideas concerning Husserl’s concepts of time and reflective structure of consciousness is analyzed in this article. There will be taken into account in the article three main texts: “Vorlesungen zur Phänomenologie des inneren Zeitbewusstseins”, “Bernauer Manuskripte” and “C-Manuskripte”. Next topics will be discussed: reflexive structure of consciousness as genetic problem, Ego as an emanate center of time construction, possibility of the achievement of hyletical, non-reflexive consciousness structure.

Key words

Husserl, genetic phenomenology, reduction, egological consciousness, time.

Abstract

The paper defends the thesis that phenomenological methods can play key role in explications of the transformation reasons of philosophical images of science. It can be made by the comparative analysis among phenomenology and other approaches revealing strong and weaknesses of separate approaches. Such principles of an explication of the transformation reasons of philosophical images of science were allocated: 1) the science is a set of the idealizing consciousness attitudes which allow to build images of the world in borders of regional ontologies (or “particular ways of understanding of reality”); 2) idealizing attitudes correspond to the comprehension of intentionality experiences structures; 3) the general transformation reason of images of science is the change of consciousness attitudes.

Key words

Science, philosophical image of science, transformation reasons, phenomenology, intentionality, consciousness, comparative analysis of approaches.

Abstract

The article maintains that the being (ens) is the proper subject of metaphysics, not being at all (esse). It is demonstrated by way of comparison of two different contexts. The first one is scholastic distinction in finite being, and the second one — the ontological difference by Martin Heidegger, which is founded on the first. Duns Scotus and Francisco Suarez shows that the content of being (esse), as a result of difference between essence and existence, cannot be explicated in logos. It is accessible in the modes of the giveness of essence, of its presence. Heidegger discusses the possible access to being through its difference from a being, in situation when Desein understands being (esse) by way of own actual existence. Nevertheless, Dasein cannot articulate the meaning of being, because the later, as a principium of temporality and of consciousness, always is concealed from reflection. Being is the source of any definiteness for the subject; it is an absolute beginning. That is why being cannot have the definite content for thought. In its meaning being is nothing and for us it discovers itself mediately — from essence and the modes of essence, i.e. by way of the being (ens).

Key words

Essence, existence, distinction in being, ontological difference, temporality, Dasein, Duns Scotus, Martin Heidegger.

Abstract

In the earliest text dedicated to Paul Celan Gadamer tries to answer the question about what concealment is, namely the almost deliberate concealment of meaning, so skillfully settled by the poet. Resorting to the analysis of the poem “Tenebrae” Gadamer shows that specific technique of writing, which releases multilevelness of semantic content using block concatenation of words. But the unity of semantic intention, this the most difficult work, is left here to the reader.

Key words

Paul Celan, Tenebrae, block language, concealment of meaning.

Abstract

Gadamer tries to point out the method of decoding Paul Celan’s texts. The very formulation of the title indicates that nor semantic neither phenomenological approach can be chosen here as fundamental. Analyzing a poem Du darfst (You can) Gadamer points out that semantic approach is able to disclose the multidimensionality (polysemanticism) of poetic vocabulary, whereas phenomenological approach allows this multidimensionality to speak out, that is, to form the integrity of meaning.

Key words

Paul Celan, semantic approach, phenomenological approach, analysis, understanding, experience of the “meaningful reading”, the realization of meaning.

Abstract

The purpose of the essay, according to what Ricoeur tells the reader, is to explore philosophical limits of the study whose center of gravity has shifted from the rhetoric and semantics to the hermeneutics and from the problems of sense to the problems of reference. The author explores differences between poetic and speculative types of discourse. On the basis of this distinction, established by the philosophical act as such, raises the question about the clarification of the modality of such interaction. Answering this question is necessary for clarifying the ontology underlying Ricoeur’s research

Key words

Theory of metaphor, the dead and the living metaphor, mode of discourse , metaphorical and contemplative discourse.

Abstract

Anatoly Akhutin describes the original intention that led him to philosophy and stresses several defining moments. Those include the relationship of Anatoly Akhutin with his teacher Vladimir Bibler, Akhutin’s understanding of the place of his own thought among his predecessors in philosophy and Akhutin’s definition of the essence of philosophy as that which deals with the origin and can be seen as the logic of the origin. He also considers the relation of the particularity of a philosopher and the essence of philosophy. The contemporary situation inclines Akhutin to address such topics as the definition of philosophy as a science, philosophical definition of science, the role of analytical philosophy in contemporary philosophical discourse and place of philosophy at Universitis.

Key words

The origin of philosophy, mythology, the role of a philosopher, philosophical subject, Hegel, Bibler, Heidegger.

Abstract

The main aim of the conference was to review the perspectives of naturalizing phenomenology and to explore the interrelation of contemporary phenomenology and experimental sciences in the sphere of social cognitive skills. The development of phenomenology has brought about the expansion of phenomenological method, the renewal of the concept of subjectivity. Concepts of bodily experience, of Lifeworld and of the genesis of subject have helped to see correlations between phenomenological, psychological and psychoanalytical methods.

Key words

Naturalization of phenomenology, philosophy of mind, embodied intersubjectivity, social cognitive theory, Transcendentalism, Naturalism.

Abstract

The essays in the collection consider the ontological status of language in relation to the problems of metaphysics, logic, poetics and politics in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger before and after the “Turn”. In particular, some authors examine the interrelation of language and speech; other authors explore language and its dependence on the ontological status of works of art; still others explore language understood as the poetry of Existence.

Abstract

According to Yampolskaya, the main methodological difficulty of phenomenology is the uncertainty of the correlation between the method and the object. This uncertainty reveals ambiguity in the interpretation of the concept of phenomenon. These basic difficulties encountered by the German phenomenology of Husserl and Heidegger have brought to life French phenomenology. Yampolskaya suggests that the key feature of French phenomenology is that it expresses less interest in the problem of reduction and more interest in different components of phenomenological method. Unlike German phenomenologists, who consider phenomenology to be the description of the evident, French thinkers see phenomenology as a description of concealed.

Key words

Phenomenological method, French and German phenomenology, E. Husserl, M. Heidegger, E. Levinas, M. Henry, J.-L. Marion, M. Richir.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract

In the article logic preconditions of the concept of description at Brentano and Husserl are considered, in particular, a connection between the doctrine of the definition and the practice of the description of consciousness. Originality of Brentanos doctrine is that he has departed from the Aristotelian principle of dichotomizing differentiation of generic concepts. On the contrary, Husserl comes back to an Aristotelian principle of differentiation of generic definitions and confirms an intentionality as a generic property of acts of the consciousness. The author shows how divergences in the logic theory of concept have caused many essential distinctions at Brentano and Husserl in practice of description and in interpretation of the structures of acts of the consciousness.

Key words

Phenomenology, Brentano, Husserl, description, theory of definition, intentionality.

Abstract

This article deals with the notion of time in the Martin Heidegger’s fundamental оntology. The conceptual deference between the ordinary understanding of time and its ontological comprehension as temporality is made here. Namely the time of the ordinary understanding is guided by the moment of “now”, but the temporality as the meaning of human being (of Dasein) has to be treated on the base of its ecstatical character. It is shown in which way the temporality as the ontological meaning of human being can be the condition of possibility of any understanding of being in general.

Key words

Fundamental Ontology, Martin Heidegger, being, time, Dasein, temporality, ecstasis.

Abstract

The hermeneutical conception of personal identity and self-understanding is based on narrativity. The latter is hermeneutical in so far as it involves hermeneutic circle wich is inscribed in different ways into our self-understending. However, the narrative self is founded in the phenomenology of embodiment. There is a reciprocal connection between our narrative and embodied selves.

Key words

Narrative, self, self-understanding, self-consciousness, hermeneutic circle, embodiment.

Abstract

This paper examines the contensive and methodological functions of the “primary (living) present” in the Husserl’s late phenomenology. In the first part of the paper transcendental being as a “concrete primarily living present” and transcendental life as a “Heraclitean streaming present” are thematized. In the second part I examine the role of an investigation into the living present in the context of a change of attitude. In the conclusion special attention is given to the primal fact of the “living present” and to the situation of “auto-discovery” in reflection.

Key words

Living present, transcendental being, transcendental life, time-consciousness, phenomenological method, reflection.

Abstract

This translation fully reproduces the most compact part of volume XXXIII of collection of Husserl’s works (Part IV). It consists of only two texts: № 14: “My flow of feelings and I” and №15: “Temporal relations of pure I”. Title of part IV “Egological and hyletic temporality in a genetic perspective” seems to be adequate to the content of texts: problem of participation of I in the flow of consciousness and problem of passive hyletic layer of time constitution.

Key words

Flow of feelings, non-egological sensuality, proto-state, hyle.

Abstract

This textological workshop focused on translation of the § 2 of the text № 14 from Bernau Manuscripts. In the framework of the workshop the discussion of the first paragraph of the text no. 14 was given, to be exact — the problem of reduction to the non-egoglogical sensuality (ichlosen Sensualität), status of discretion that leads to non-egological side of I and this I itself.

Key words

Transcendental Ego, non-egological sensuality, phenomenological abstraction, reflective intuition.

Abstract

The author of this monograph considers substantial sides of philosophical work of Heidegger in its own phenomenological context. Moreover, in contrast to many other interpreters of heideggerian philosophy, Getmann examines Heidegger’s ontological undertaking in the unity of its systematic intention. This fragment is about Heidegger’s reformulation of phenomenological program of Husserl, particularly of the idea of pure consciousness, being of intentional that resulted in neglect of the question about the meaning of being itself and became the key to understanding the philosophical theme of Heidegger.

Key words

Principles of phenomenology, meaning of being, fundamental ontology, ontological funding of sciences.

Abstract

This article deals with little-studied issue of passive constitution, research of which clears the way to understanding of peculiar Husserl’s transcendental philosophy. The author of the article points out that concept of formation varies between formation of sense and creation, but this fluctuation takes place only in relation to passive synthesis. Landgrebe rests upon a number of statements, considered in the article (“deep-laid dimension” of constitution process cannot be grasped by phenomenological introspection; functions of corporeality belong to functions of passive pre-constitution and with them to transcendental subjectivity; proceeding proto-occurrence of transcendental subjectivity has to be understood as creative process) in which this variation proves to be justified.

Key words

Passive constitution, formation of sense, creation, corporeality, phenomenological introspection, foundation.

Abstract

Systematic research of “first-person” perspective in a monograph continues the old debate about the scientific status of introspection, its peculiarities, and in the interpretation of Zahavi — its advantages in comparison with the “third-person” perspective. The author questions about grounds of formation of self-consciousness, taking into account the experience of philosophy and other human sciences. The aim of this paper is to describe and clarify the whole system of differences and genetics of internal motivation in the form in which subjectivity is a dynamic (temporal) model of consciousness.

Key words

Formation of self-consciousness, internal structure of subjectivity, phenomenological method, internal consciousness of time.
