Document Details : Title: La phénoménologie comme science de l'homme sans l'homme Author(s): ALLOA, Emmanuel Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 72 Issue: 1 Date: 2010 Pages: 79-100 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.72.1.2047018 Abstract : Husserlian phenomenology sets off as a fundamental rejection of those psychologisms and anthropologisms that deduce the structures of appearance from some preexisting essence of man. However, despite a clear rejection of all anthropological foundations of phenomenology, the examples of Husserl, Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty show that the question of man continues to haunt the phenomenological project and constitutes something like a ‘blind spot’. Relating these unspoken tensions to another historical ‘scene’ (the debate between the Sophists and Aristotle), the article argues why phenomenology is to be seen as the endeavor of replying to the initial Protagorean provocation to thinking. |
