Critical Phenomenology and Social Engagement. The Case of Achille Mbembe’s Criticism of Race
2021
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.
Motivational Analysis in Husserl’s Genetic Phenomenology
2018
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.
