Alexander Schnell: Die Entdeckung der Präphänomenalität, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Due to the influences it has received from numerous fields of knowledge - such as ethics, political philosophy, social philosophy, psychopathology, the cognitive sciences or aesthetics - one might be lead to assume that phenomenology has abandoned its initial goals of establishing a philosophy as a 'rigorous science' (Husserl) or as an 'ontology' (Heidegger). In fact, since the last third of the twentieth century, phenomenology has definitely broken new ground in terms of theoretical questions. These are connected with the attempts to bring metaphysical questions back to the fore and with the endeavour to reform transcendental philosophy. The lectures published here set themselves the task of presenting and developing these new approaches. More recent phenomenology moves away from ego-centred, 'egological' approaches and questions the highest principle of descriptive givenness. Through its 'discovery of pre-phenomenality', it opens up perspectives in epistemological and ontological terms that bear witness to the vitality of theoretical phenomenology today.
