Its Possibility and Scope

Philosophical Knowledge

This collection examines the instrumental role of intersubjectivity in Husserl’s philosophy and explores the potential for developing novel ways of addressing and resolving contemporary philosophical issues on that basis. This is the first time Iso Kern offers an extensive overview of this rich field of inquiry for an English-speaking audience. Guided by his overview, the remaining articles present new approaches to a range of topics and problems that go to the heart of its core theme of intersubjectivity and methodology. Specific topics covered include intersubjectivity and empathy, intersubjectivity in meaning and communication, intersubjectivity pertaining to collective forms of intentionality and extended forms of embodiment, intersubjectivity as constitutive of normality, and, finally, the central role of intersubjectivity in the sciences. The authors’ perspectives are strongly influenced by Husserl’s own methodological concerns and problem awareness and are formed with a view to applicability in current debates – be it within general epistemology, analytic philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, meta-ethics or philosophy of science. With contributions written by leading Husserl scholars from across the Analytic and Continental traditions, Husserl’s Phenomenology of Intersubjectivity is a clear and accessible resource for scholars and advanced students interested in Husserl’s phenomenology and the relevance of intersubjectivity to philosophy, sociology, and psychology.

Historical Interpretations and Contemporary Applications

Husserl’s Phenomenology of Intersubjectivity

The former Queen of Science seems to be lacking both a specific subject and a particular method. Thus the need arises for intra- and metaphilosophical orientation – especially since the way philosophy sees itself stems from various influential schools and traditions whose mutual exchange is not as lively as one might have hoped.This volume of original essays brings together some of the protagonists of different metaphilosophical debates that have so far been led fairly independently of each other. The authors discuss the question of both the possibility and the scope of philosophical knowledge under a variety of aspects, particularly: (1) a priori knowledge and the role of intuitions, (2) transcendental arguments, (3) analytic philosophy and its methods as well as (4) phenomenology and analytic philosophy.

En esta obra, Christian Beyer nos introduce de la mano en el mundo de la metafísica más profunda. Sintetizando conocimientos de una gran diversidad de fuentes espirituales consigue que la información contenida en una simple caries nos permita resolver conflictos de todo tipo. Como dice el autor: “tras sucumbir a la admiración la parte más dura de nuestro cuerpo, los dientes, me vi poco a poco conducido hasta lo más sutil de nuestra estructura: el Espíritu. Y este viaje fue lo que me llevó a tomar la decisión de expresar mi más profundo agradecimiento al Cielo, al que solemos referirnos habitualmente con el nombre de Dios. Los dientes constituyen la imagen total y absoluta de lo que descubrí, de esa estructura global del Ser Humano. Poco a poco. la escucha profunda de los dientes la que me dediqué en cuerpo y alma, me condujo directamente a la dimensión emocional. Del mismo modo en que la psicología me condujo hacia la célula, y por consiguiente hacia el nivel inferior, también me abrió las puertas de la psique humana, verdadera estructura vertical que se eleva muy por encima de nosotros. A partir de dicha dualidad se produjo la unión de los contrarios u opuestos, pues así es como se suelen percibir al principio. Hoy puedo afirmar sin miedo que el Espíritu y el Cuerpo están unidos desde siempre. Y lo más maravilloso no sólo es haberlo entendido, sino poder verlo y vivirlo. Te deseo que vivas este viaje en tu cosmos interior como un momento de memoria revelada, pues no descubrimos nada nuevo: ¡lo que Es se nos muestra sólo para que lo recordemos!”
