    This paper focuses on the Argentine philosopher Eugenio Pucciarelli (1907–1995) and his critical reception of phenomenology. It introduces to his contribution to phenomenology in the context of its early reception in Argentina and addresses the following issues: 1) the mission of philosophy, the various ways of accessing its essence, in particular those of Scheler, Dilthey and Husserl, 2) his reception of Husserl as far as the ideals of science and reason are concerned, 3) the crisis of reason 4…Read more

    Hedwig Conrad-Martius on Color, Light, and the Irreality of the Artwork
    Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology 10 (2): 161-177. 2023.
    In her article “Die Irrealität des Kunstwerkes,” first published in 1938, Hedwig Conrad-Martius delves into the question of the artistic representation of the real reality of the world, which basically concerns the classical distinction between art and nature. It is in this context that Conrad-Martius rejects idealism and the concomitant assumption that an artwork imitates the “living reality” of Nature. She clearly distinguishes between the task of phenomenology and that of art: while phenomeno…Read more

    Cassirer und Husserl
    Studia Phaenomenologica 23 59-88. 2023.
    This article inquires firstly into the descriptive and affective function of images as examples and exemplars in both Cassirer’s and Husserl’s conceptions of perception and aesthetics in order to disclose their respective relationship to reality, that is, mimesis. In view of the correlation between symbolic comportment and symbolic forms at Cassirer, it will secondly show that the ensuing hermeneutical circle can be overcome by taking recourse on Husserl’s genetic analyses on passive sense const…Read more

    Die sinnlich-affektive Verflechtung von Welt, Raum und Leib in Husserl und Merleau-Ponty
    Zeitschrift für Ästhetik Und Allgemeine Kunstwissenschaft 66 (2): 56-81. 2021.
    Der Beitrag widmet sich der Entwicklung der Untersuchungen Husserls und Merleau-Pontys in Bezug auf die Wechselverhältnisse zwischen Welt, Raum und Leib. Die These besagt, dass die ›genetische‹ Einsicht, die leiblich aff ektive Erfahrung verleihe der Welt einen subjekt-relativen Sinn, anfänglich zu einer Umkehrung des Fundierungsverhältnisses und schließlich zur Ausarbeitung der Urhyle als sinnliches Prinzip bei Husserl geführt hat, während sie Merleau-Ponty dazu verleitet hat, die Unterscheidun…Read more

    Husserl and Derrida on the Process of Sense Formation—Gaps and Excesses
    HORIZON. Studies in Phenomenology 12 (1): 74-102. 2023.
    This paper deals with the problem of the origin of sense and meaning. For Husserl, the determination of the ideal identity of something new can only take place retroactively in the totality of the preceding series by stepping back towards the original foundation of sense. In this regard, J. Derrida questions the ideality of the same as presence and the possibility of retrieving any arché of sense in his writings Speech and Phenomena and Edmund Husserl’s Origin of Geometry. Phenomenology is not o…Read more

    Wenn Lernen dort beginnt, wo etwas Neues erlebt wird, so muss der vorreflexive Erfahrungsgrund, das sinnliche, leibliche Erlebnis freigelegt werden. Es ist die primäre Aufgabe einer ontologischen Praxis als lebendiger Vollzug, die von Husserl aufgedeckten Urtatsachen – Welt, Leiblichkeit, Intersubjektivität, Geschichtlichkeit – in ihrem Sinn für uns zu konstituieren. Der Beitrag zielt darauf hin, diese These im Ausgang der affektiven Erfahrung und des ihr vorausliegenden leiblichen Erlebens zu b…Read more

    Aristotle and Husserl on feelings in moral sense
    Metodo. International Studies in Phenomenology and Philosophy 8 (2): 31-67. 2020.
    This paper concerns both Aristotle's notion of right feelings and Husserl's account of intentional feelings and emotions as developed in their ethical writings and it discusses these approaches in relation to each other. It addresses the question of motivation and justification or evidence for moral feelings and actions. In particular, it focuses on the emotional states of Philia and love as well as the inherent relationship between affectivity and reason. The paper concludes with some reflectio…Read more

    Philosophie als Literatur bei Nietzsche, Deleuze und Borges
    Metodo. International Studies in Phenomenology and Philosophy 6 (1): 255-288. 2018.
    The interweavement of philosophy and literature allows to gain a new sense from the own, lived experiences and to express them through narrations, as the paradigmatic works of Nietzsche, Deleuze and Borges show. They all deal with the inexorability of time and the fact of being at the mercy of the unwanted aspects of Being-in-the-world, the detailed reading of which allows us to assert that the event of the emergence of a new sense lies in the experience of the creative power of the instant, whe…Read more

    Das Erhabene im phänomenologischen Sinne: Die affektiv leibliche Erfahrung des Raumes
    Labyrinth: An International Journal for Philosophy, Value Theory and Sociocultural Hermeneutics 22 (1): 10-39. 2020.
    The Sublime in a phenomenological sense: The Affective Bodily Experience of Space The aim of the following paper is to redefine the sublime in phenomenological terms, a task long overdue. Departing from Kant, it claims that the phenomenological sublime is an emotion aroused neither by the power of our reason transcending the inadequacy of imagination as it concerns nature, nor by the overwhelming powers of imagination as it concerns an artwork, but by the excess of sensuousness over conceptualit…Read more

    Esta contribución elabora la concepción del “Un-zuhause-sein” en Heidegger en su relación con la experiencia del exilio, como es descripta por Mario Benedetti. En la experiencia del exilio, cuando se quiebra la familiaridad tranquilizadora con el mundo, se accede al «fenómeno más original desde el punto de vista ontológico existenciario» de la absoluta negación del estar en casa. Mientras la angustia despertada por la soledad fáctica conduce a una ruptura con el mundo cotidiano, el extrañamien-t…Read more

    Esta contribución elabora la concepción del ser en su mismidad e ipseidad en Heidegger y Nietzsche, contrastando la concepción nietzscheana de la voluntad de poder y del eterno retorno con la interpretación heideggeriana y enmarcándola dentro de su concepción del ser anterior y posterior a la Kehre. La tesis sostiene que, mientras Heidegger concibe la ipseidad ya no como identidad a sí mismo en el sentido de las egologías tradicionales, sino como modo de existencia auténtico del Dasein que se as…Read more

    La confrontación entre Heidegger y Husserl que ha dominado hasta fecha reciente la interpretación filosófica debe ser revisada a la luz de las indagaciones de Husserl sobre la protofacticidad: Ella concierne a una ontología del mundo de la vida que es afín a la mundaneidad heideggeriana: Los protohechos constituyen un horizonte de sentido ya instaurado, que el yo debe reconfigurar en su praxis. Esta protofacticidad inmodalizable alberga un núcleo de protocontingencia que da cuenta no sólo de la …Read more

    Summary This paper deals with the development of Husserl’s and Merleau-Pontys analyses of the affective lived experience of body and space. Both the concept of „flesh“ (Merleau-Ponty) and „Hyle“ (Husserl) stand for a sensuous principle that underlies the original givenness and solidarity of body and world and I claim that this interaction and the concomitant intertwining of body and place make up the existential dimension of architecture, i.e. the, being-here-in-a-place’. In this connection, I a…Read more

    ABSTRACT The current article deals with the correlation between virtual and physical reality as they concern the body. The thesis of this article is that the lived body transposed into virtual reality becomes a body without organs in Deleuze’s terms, i.e. the lived body, a sensitive field of sensorial events immersed in a lived space, becomes a virtual body made up of intensities, of pure forces or magnitudes within a vector space, thereby losing its affective qualities. Furthermore, lived and v…Read more

    Acts of violence develop in relation to place and involve the violation of its very limits. Every significant place is a scene of history, its limits embrace presence and sense. As such, it is the life-worldly home of memory. In this article, I will retrieve the bodily affective dimension of the phenomenon of place memory in instances of public commemoration. Drawing on different philosophical horizons like those of mainly Heidegger, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, Adorno, Ricoeur and Bataille,…Read more

    Die Phänomenologie Husserls ist nicht nur als ein metaphysikkritisches Unternehmen, sondern als eine kritische Wiederaufnahme aristotelischer Themen aufzufassen. Denn die Frage nach dem Sinn des Seins führt Husserl anfänglich dazu, eine transzendentale Phänomenologie als eidetische Wissenschaft zu entwerfen, welche die aristotelische Ontologie auf formale und materiale Regionen erweitert. Später aber führt sie Husserl nicht nur zu einer Revision der Beziehungen zwischen Phänomenologie und Metaph…Read more

    Aristotle and Husserl on the relationship between the necessity of a fact and contingency
    New Yearbook for Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy (2017): 269-296. 2018.
    Aristotle’s philosophy and Husserl’s phenomenology both give immediate access to effective reality. A full ontology presupposes the facticity or givenness of the world. They both state the necessity of factual existence inasmuch as the presence of a being (Aristotle) or of the self-givenness of the Ego and of the world (Husserl) establishes itself in experience as apodictically evident. Both share the view that worldly beings are characterized by their contingency, though they differ as to its n…Read more

    Facticity, necessity and contingency at Aristotle and Husserl
    HORIZON. Studies in Phenomenology 5 (1): 133-149. 2016.
    In his book Welt und Unendlichkeit, László Tengelyi has enquired into the possibility of a phenomenological metaphysics. Among the many issues addressed in his book, he thematized a real necessity of a non-apriori kind at Aristotle and Husserl, a necessity which he called „a necessity of the fact“. His research settled the basis for the present enquiry, which will examine the relationship between the absolute and the conditional necessity of a fact as well as the contingent or accidental feature…Read more

    In dem Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie der Widerstreit zwischen mimesis und methexis eine – so die These – ›atopische Differenz‹ hervorbringt, die den Sinn des Gegenstandes zu einer fortwährenden Bildung zwingt, einen Sinn, der sich weder vollständig erhellen noch in bestehenden Begrifflichkeiten erfassen lässt, sondern sich eher in sinnlichen Erfahrung ausdrückt. Der Begriff der Atopie bedeutet nach Franco Rella , außerhalb unseres Platzes bzw. der Grenzen unserer wahrnehmungsmäßigen u…Read more

    In den folgenden Überlegungen wird der Frage nachgegangen, welchen Status die Unterscheidung zwischen Sinnlichkeit und Begriff in der Philosophie Husserls hat und inwiefern sie für die Herausarbeitung eines ästhetischen Wissens fruchtbar gemacht werden kann. Husserl formuliert in den Ideen I das „Prinzip aller Prinzipien“ für die Philosophie, „daß jede originär gebende Anschauung eine Rechtsquelle der Erkenntnis sei, daß alles, was sich uns in der ‚Intuition’ originär (sozusagen in seiner leibha…Read more

    La tesis principal sostiene que Descartes, mucho antes que Nietzsche, sentó las bases para la aserción de la fenomenalidad del mundo interno, el cual posee los atributos de certeza e indubitalidad de las que carecen los fenómenos externos de la percepción. Después de un primer analisis del alcance del cógito de las Meditaciones, de la crítica al mismo de Nietzsche y finalmente de la crítica de Heidegger a ambos, se analizan los problemas inherentes a sus respectivos planteos. Mientras que el cóg…Read more
