  • merleau ponty s gordian knot Transcendental Phenomenology science and naturalism
    Continental Philosophy Review, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jack Reynolds
    Abstract:

    In this paper I explore a series of fertile ambiguities that Merleau-Ponty’s work is premised upon. These ambiguities concern some of the central methodological commitments of his work, in particular his commitment (or otherwise) to Transcendental Phenomenology and how he transforms that tradition, and his relationship to science and philosophical naturalism and what they suggest about his philosophical methodology. Many engagements with Merleau-Ponty’s work that are more ‘analytic’ in orientation either deflate it of its Transcendental heritage, or offer a “modest” rendering of its Transcendental dimensions. This is also true, albeit perhaps to a lesser extent, of the work of the more empirically-minded phenomenological philosophers who engage very seriously with Merleau-Ponty—e.g. Hubert Dreyfus, Shaun Gallagher, Evan Thompson, Alva Noe, and others. At the same time, many other scholars contest these proto-scientific and more naturalistic uses of Merleau-Ponty’s work on hermeneutical and exegetical grounds, and they likewise criticise the deflated reading of his Transcendental Phenomenology that tends to support them. By working through some of the key passages and ideas, this paper establishes that the former view captures something pivotal to Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy. I also extend these interpretations by arguing that, at least around the time of Phenomenology of Perception, his philosophy might be reasonably regarded as a form of minimal methodological naturalism.

  • 1. Husserl’s Transcendental Phenomenology Considered in the Light of (Recent) Epistemology
    Constructive Engagement of Analytic and Continental Approaches in Philosophy, 2013
    Co-Authors: Christian Beyer
    Abstract:

    This chapter on Edmund Husserl's Transcendental Phenomenology represents an epistemological project which he sometimes refers to as "First Philosophy". He also speaks of "Cartesian Meditations" and stresses that "the first philosophical act" is "the universal overthrow of all prior beliefs, however acquired". This project aims at nothing less than a philosophical understanding of our whole view of the world and ourselves. The author proposes to investigate into this undertaking regarding both its method and content and to relate it, where useful, to more recent (analytic) epistemology. Finally, Husserl's recourse to the so conceived lifeworld shows that he does not presuppose any generic source of knowledge which could be questioned as a whole due to its epistemic autonomy and its limited information value. Keywords:Edmund Husserl; Epistemology; First Philosophy; Transcendental Phenomenology

  • husserl s Transcendental Phenomenology nature spirit and life
    2014
    Co-Authors: Andrea Staiti
    Abstract:

    Edmund Husserl (1859–1938) is regarded as the founder of Transcendental Phenomenology, one of the major traditions to emerge in twentieth-century philosophy. In this book Andrea Staiti unearths and examines the deep theoretical links between Husserl's Phenomenology and the philosophical debates of his time, showing how his thought developed in response to the conflicting demands of Neo-Kantianism and life-philosophy. Drawing on the work of thinkers including Heinrich Rickert, Wilhelm Dilthey and Georg Simmel, as well as Husserl's writings on the natural and human sciences that are not available in English translation, Staiti illuminates a crucial chapter in the history of twentieth-century philosophy and enriches our understanding of Husserl's thought. His book will interest scholars and students of Husserl, Phenomenology, and twentieth-century philosophy more generally.

  • psychology a new way into Transcendental Phenomenology some thoughts on the last part of husserl s crisis
    1997
    Co-Authors: Elisabeth Ströker
    Abstract:

    The Crisis was Husserl’s last work. It remained unfinished. Nonetheless it is this work which has found more interpreters than any of his other works. For, although it was conceived as an “introduction” to Phenomenology — as was also the case with Ideas I, Formal and Transcendental Logic and Cartesian Meditations — the Crisis obviously contains something completely new inasmuch as it documents the often discussed “turn” in Husserl’s later philosophy. Although this “turn” evidently cannot mean Husserl’s turn away from Transcendental Phenomenology, his last work is characterized by a thematic treatment of the problems of history and the life-world.

  • Husserl's Transcendental Phenomenology
    1993
    Co-Authors: Elisabeth Ströker
    Abstract:

    The literature on the work of Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) abounds in specialized studies of various aspects of his philosophy - Transcendental Phenomenology. Yet there have been few attempts to present Husserl's philosophy as a whole. No wonder, for Husserl's mammoth literary output over some forty years and the highly diverse nature of his investigations have made it extremely difficult to make a broad survey of his work. Now one of the world's leading Husserl scholars presents a unified and critical interpretation of Husserl's philosophical work from the only point of view from which its continuity can be grasped: method. The culmination of several decades of intense scholarly engagement with Husserl's Phenomenology, her work reveals as no other the dynamic interplay between the development of Husserl's method and the thematic progression of his research.
