Document Details : Title: Phénoménologie et révolution Subtitle: Husserl penseur de la crise Author(s): VIOULAC, Jean Journal: Etudes phénoménologiques - Phenomenological Studies Volume: 3 Date: 2019 Pages: 37-53 DOI: 10.2143/EPH.3.0.3285172 Abstract : Phenomenology came to present itself as a transcendental idealism and seems to be totally apolitical. However, Husserl goes beyond idealism and redefines transcendental subjectivity by its lived body, praxis, the relationship with others, the world of life, and history. What constitutes the world is not a transcendental subject but a transcendental community. As a consequence, the phenomenological reduction, which Husserl first presented as a 'religious conversion', is redefined as a historical and collective event, that is, as a revolution. Husserl presented phenomenology as 'a revolution, and the greatest of all', which can only be accomplished on political grounds. |
