description

For me, the main question is this: can a common thematic ground be found for both phenomenology and those philosophical discourses that rest on sciences of life? Or, rather, has the fundamentality of life matters perhaps put an end to phenomenology as a primary grounding discipline? What if the “direct givenness”, proposed by Husserl, cannot give us insight into that-which-lives, thus marking the impossibility of phenomenology as a universal and strict science? Could it really be that consciousness, with its constitutive activities, is exactly that-which-lives?
