Figures, Functions And Critique Of Subjectivity From The Husserlian Phenomenology
Volume XVX (2015)
Editor: Emanuele Mariani
Among the many ways of interpreting Husserl’s phenomenology, one in particular seems to display undisputed evidence, identifying it without much hesitation to a philosophy of the subject. There are however many problematic aspects to this identification, corresponding to as many moments of the analysis such as the rejection of the “pure I”, for instance, and its subsequent rehabilitation in the passage that leads from the Logical Investigations to the explication of the transcendental method. Additional questions pertain to the subject brought back to its corporal substrate and inscribed in an intersubjective relationship or placed at the very foundation of the world’s transcendence.
These and other vicissitudes have coincided with a process to “put subjectivity on trial” which has never ceased to animate the phenomenologically-inspired debate, from the neo-Kantian critique to the Heideggerian existential revision, from Sartre to Merleau-Ponty, from Ricoeur and Levinas to Henry and to the most recent proposal of Jean-Luc Marion, without forgetting of course the contributions of analytical philosophy, centred on the “mind-body” problem, on the significance of consciousness or on the relationship between the “first person” and the “third person”.
