Social Critique and Trust Dynamics

An Unsolved Question. Husserl’s Path toward Genetic Intersubjectivity
The problem of intersubjectivity has an ambiguous fate within phenomenology, since it is the object of a contradictory attitude: on the one hand, the question of intersubjectivity seems just to be an application of phenomenological theories and methods to a particular matter of fact. On the other hand, the issues related to intersubjectivity are loaded with high expectations due to their manifest practical, existential and personal meaning. This is what inspired the French tradition (J. P. Sartre, M. Merleau-Ponty, E. Levinas and today J.- L. Marion and J.-L. Nancy) to draw substantial existential consequences from the Husserlian epistemological analysis. In this paper I try to reconstruct …
Il soggetto e l’azione
In this contribution, I provide a sketch of the possible meanings that the concept of agency-widely used in philosophy of mind and analytic philosophy, particularly in the declinations provided by Anscombe (1957)1 and Davidson (1963)2, but less explored in the phenomenon-logic tradition-can take on when placed under the lens of Husserlian theory of subjectivity.
Il Comune come paradigma dell’etica pubblica
The paper discusses the definition and range of the notion of the common good as a key to developing coherent public ethics on a phenomenological basis.
Fifth Cartesian Meditation (§§ 55–64): The Schema »Unity-Multiplicity« as the (Not-So) Hidden Metaphysics in Husserl’s Cartesian Meditations
The paper analyzes the last of the Husserlian Meditations with a focus on the metaphysical issue of unity and multiplicity.
Soggettività e mondo della vita. L’appello all’impegno tra Husserl e Patočka
The paper discusses the concept of the life-world presented by Husserl in the late 30ies. The first step explores the specific meaning of the idea of a constitution when applied to the life-world. The constitution of the life-world refers to a specific kind of intentionality, which implies the interconnection of plural individual intentionalities (Vergemeinschaftung). The characteristic totality of the world, however, requires a second step: the individuation of a specific practical and theoretical attitude (Einstellung) that Husserl refers to, in a late manuscript, with the term “Angehen” (concern). My claim is that only a practical and ethical approach can actually make sense of the world…
Motivational Analysis in Husserl’s Genetic Phenomenology
The paper discusses motivation as the inner lawfulness of consciousness and a central methodological principle of genetic phenomenology, highlighting the problem of its ambiguous status oscillating between a historical-empirical and a transcendental account of consciousness. The focus on motivation allows for the practical character of intentionality to emerge, thus presenting genetic phenomenology as a more comprehensive approach to subjective life which takes into account its constitutive indeterminacy.
Tra identità e individuazione: la responsabilità come genesi della persona
This paper investigates responsibility using the tools of genetic phenomenology. Responsibility is seen not as a fixing quality of a subject whose identity is completely defined on the empirical level, but rather as a constituting, individuating, processual quality of the transcendental subject.
OSCURITÀ E FUTURO DEL SOGGETTO
This paper analyses the topic of subjectivity within Husserl's phenomenology, specifically focusing on its temporal structure. The dimension of future and its relative obscurity appear as constitutive not only for the subject life, but also for its moral self-commitment.
Play and Self-Reflection. Eugen Fink’s Phenomenological Anthropology
The paper takes into consideration the relationship between philosophical anthropology and phenomenology from the point of view provided by Eugen Fink’s philosophical path. Starting with phenomenological researches into the structure of constitution and reduction, after the Second World War Fink puts forth an anthropological theory based on the notion of play. This paper identifies the self-reflective and practical structure of Selbstbesinnung as a constant element of Fink’s analysis of the phenomenological method, of consciousness, and of the anthropological dimension of play, thus suggesting a profound continuity in his philosophical thought.
Fiducia e nuove cittadinanze
The article discusses the role of the experience of trust in the foundation of a conscious and inclusive citizenship, distinguishing between trust as reliabilty of the world and personal trust as an expression of freedom and creativity.
Critical Phenomenology and Social Engagement. The Case of Achille Mbembe’s Criticism of Race
In the paper I attempt to illustrate the concrete application of the phenomenological instruments of motivation, evidence, and genetic intentionality to an exemplary and highly urgent social problem such as race. To do this, I will develop a so far in large part missed dialogue between classic Husserlian phenomenology and the hermeneutic critical philosophy of Achille Mbembe.
Fiducia e responsabilità
In my contribution I investigate with phenomenological tools the possible relationship between the feeling of trust and a notion crucial to the ethical dimension such as that of responsibility
Phenomenologies of Trust
Aim of the paper is to compare different phenomenological accounts of the phenomenon of trust. After moving from the “noematic” observation of trust as embedded in the world, toward the “noetic” consideration of trust as a subjective act, we introduce the view of trust as a specific kind of perceptive experience giving the person as a totality and being characterized by a displacing double intentionality. Trust is therefore grasped as a teleological intentional process. This requires a phenomenological-genetic approach and challenges us to overcome the restrictions imposed by a static phenomenology of trust. The genetic approach focuses on trust as a grounding and selffostering experience t…
