60The Unconscious as the AlienCritical Hermeneutics 8 (special). 2024.Through a comparison of the phenomenological motif of the alien and the psychoanalytic motif of the unconscious, a critique is advanced against Cartesian dualism, which recurs today in the natural sciences and in the split of the contemporary individual, divided between spirit and nature, the proper world and the alien world, the inner sphere and the outer sphere. It is a matter of thinking of an original subtraction, an absent presence that begins with ourselves, in a slippage that achieves no …Read more

44Bruchstellen einer diachronen ErfahrungCritical Hermeneutics 8 (special). 2024.Experience is investigated according to those breaking points where the unexpected surfaces and the surprise of the extraordinary and the alien breaks through. What happens is always in the postponement between pathos and response; this represents the fundamental agreement of a responsive phenomenology: it is never a quiet succession, but always something arriving too early or too late. Threshold experiences such as hesitation, delay, waiting, pausing, stumbling are investigated in this framewor…Read more

41Der Leib als Urmedium und der Körper als Vehikel der TechnikCritical Hermeneutics 8 (special). 2024.Living corporeity is the intermediate element between nature and culture, which must be thought of as a reciprocal interconnection, since as corporeal beings we always move on a threshold. In the reflection of the bodily self, a doubling between the living body as a functioning subject and as a material object is revealed; after all, even one's own body sometimes takes on the features of a foreign body, as is the case in the experience of illness. In the technical instrument, the body is prolong…Read more

40Atención suscitada y dirigidaEikasia Revista de Filosofía 120 261-281. 2024.El presente artículo tiene como objetivo esbozar algunos motivos fundamentales de una teoría de la atención sobre la base de una fenomenología responsiva orientada por el cuerpo. Una fenomenología de la atención no se conforma ni con actos subjetivos ni con mecanismos anónimos. La atención se presenta más bien como un acontecimiento doble: algo nos llama la atención – prestamos atención. Algo nos sobreviene antes de que nos percatemos de ello. Entre ambos momentos se abre una brecha insalvable. …Read more

140The groundlessness of sense: a critique of Husserl’s idea of groundingContinental Philosophy Review 57 (1): 1-15. 2024.This article critiques Husserl’s idea of grounding through an exploration of his notion of the lifeworld. First, it sketches different senses of the lifeworld in the Crisis and explains in what sense it is taken to be a universal foundation of all sense-formation. Second, it criticizes Husserl’s idea of grounding and shows that it fails because the alleged foundation—namely, the lifeworld as a perceptual world, or rather lifeworldly experience as perception—is inadequately determined. Perception…Read more

195Normalité et normativité: entre phénoménologie et structuralismeRevue de Métaphysique et de Morale 1 (1): 57. 2005.À contre-courant des querelles fratricides qui opposèrent structuralistes et phénoménologues, l'auteur rappelle, tout d'abord, les motifs centraux qui dominent le débat entre les deux courants, avant de dégager une problématique nouvelle dans laquelle les perspectives phénoménologiques et structuralistes s'entrecroisent. Il s'agit de la problématique de la normalisation, entendue comme processus d'incarnation et de genèse des normes, qui thématise de façon centrale la différence entre l'Ordinair…Read more

52ZeichenMeiner, F. 2013.Zwischen der Veröffentlichung der "Phänomenologie der Wahrnehmung" im Jahr 1945 und dem Tod Merleau-Pontys im Jahr 1961 liegen gerade einmal 16 Jahre. In dieser Zeitspanne nimmt Merleau-Ponty das Projekt einer Ausweitung und Grundlegung seiner Überlegungen auf, indem er zum einen das Phänomen der Expressivität in den unterschiedlichsten kulturellen Dimensionen erkundet, um vom Ausdrucksverhalten her eine Kulturphilosophie eigenen Typs zu entwickeln, und um zum anderen ein ontologisches Fundament…Read more

39Respuesta RetardadaEikasia Revista de Filosofía 115 371-395. 2023.El presente artículo parte de la imagen proustiana de la puerta que se abre con el objetivo de desarrollar la pregunta sobre qué es lo que se encuentra al otro lado del umbral, así como sobre el estatus del tiempo y de la realidad que el narrador recobra al final de En busca del tiempo perdido. Como intentaremos mostrar, lo que aguarda del otro lado de la puerta no remite a una iluminación mística ni a un estado de meditación contemplativa, sino más bien al trabajo de expresión de una escritura …Read more

62Merleau‐PontyIn Simon Critchley & William R. Schroeder (eds.), A Companion to Continental Philosophy, Wiley-blackwell. 1999.To speak of Merleau‐Ponty means to speak of phenomenology in France. If French phenomenology found its own idiom in the 1930s, one which dominated French thinking until the 1960s and even left its mark on the structuralist break with phenomenology, that is very largely due to the patient philosophical work of Merleau‐Ponty. A philosophy which, as Merleau‐Ponty himself points out, dwells in a world to which there are several modes of access, not all of them open to the philosopher, will find its …Read more

111Phenomenology and Marxism (edited book)Routledge. 2013.Originally published in English in 1984, this collection of essays documents a dialogue between phenomenology and Marxism, with the contributors representing a cross-section from the two traditions. The theoretical and historical presuppositions of the phenomenology inaugurated by Husserl are very different from those of the much older Marxist tradition, yet, as these essays show, there are definite points of contact, communication and exchange between the two traditions.

45Antworten auf Ansprüche NachkommenderMetodo. International Studies in Phenomenology and Philosophy 5 (2): 19-45. 2017.Any ethics directed to future demands is confronted with two main problems. Firstly, how can we conceive a kind of future which does not only hold the past and prolong the present, but remains open for something coming in an unexpected way. Secondly, how does it happen that demands of not yet existing people really concern us? This paper tries to answer to these questions from the perspective of a responsive phenomenology based on our responding to the Other’s demands which precede and exceed ou…Read more

31Phänomenologie und WissenschaftMetodo. International Studies in Phenomenology and Philosophy 1 (1): 1-7. 2013.Es ist nicht möglich, in Freiburg von Phänomenologie zu sprechen, ohne der beiden Protagonisten zu gedenken, die sie dort heimisch gemacht haben. Das gilt auch für das Thema „Phänomenologie und Wissenschaft“, um das es im folgenden gehen soll. In seinem Aufsatz Philosophie als strenge Wissenschaft, der 1911 in der europäischen Zeitschrift „Logos“ erschien, erklärt Edmund Husserl: «Nicht von den Philosophien, sondern von den Sachen und Problemen muß der Antrieb zur Forschung ausgehen». Selber hat…Read more

27Homo respondens1Alter: revue de phénoménologie 27 249-261. 2019.L’homme est un être qui se remet lui même en question. La question « qui suis-je? » ne se laisse pas mettre de côté, pas plus que le « ici » et le « maintenant » de ce propos. Une anthropologie qui tente d’éradiquer tout reste d’égologie se fige inévitablement dans une idéologie qui nous laisse dans l’obscurité quant à l’origine des idées. Mais puisque chaque discours s’adresse implicitement ou explicitement à quelqu’un, la question « qui suis-je? » se dédouble en un « qui es-tu? ». Tout c...
