Hello everyone on Steemit platform and to all my followers!
Yes, I'm posting again, despite the low success rate I enjoy on the platform, but I'm confident that this is only a temporary situation and all of this will change with time, once my reputation will grow, thing that drives me to go on and just write!
In this post I decided to talk about pure phenomenology and phenomenological philosophy.
Pure phenomenology is a new science, far from the natural way of thinking, and for this reason it only appears today. Investigating its direction and defining its position towards the other sciences, we recommend it as the fundamental science of philosophy. It is called the science of "phenomena".
Other sciences, known for a long time, are heading for phenomena. This way, has to be mentioned psychology, as a science of psychic phenomena, natural sciences, as the sciences of physical; same way,we can talk about the historical or cultural phenomena from history, respectively science of nature; and the same thing could be said about all the sciences that have a real object.
How different are the meanings of the term "phenomenon" here, and how many other meanings it may acquire, as it is certain that phenomenology encompasses all these "phenomena" and according to all meanings; but after such a different conception that all the meanings of the term refer to the sciences we got used to up until now.
Only after this change the phenomenon falls into the phenomenological sphere. To understand this change or, better, to acquire a phenomenological conception, acquiring the scientific consciousness of its characteristics and of the natural attitude, this is the first task, not at all easy, to accomplish if we want to enter the territory of phenomenology and to acquire from our scientific point of view its essence.
Abandon all the dominant mental habits so far, with barriers limiting the horizon of our thinking, approach them in complete freedom, and put in a whole new way the philosophical problems that are only accessible due to an enlarged horizon - all this is a different task that can not become by no means easier to accept. In fact, the difficulty of understanding the essence of phenomenology, its problems, and its relationships with other sciences (especially psychology) is due to the need to acquire a completely different conception from what was familiar to us in experience and thought. To move freely within this concept, ignoring the old ideas, learning to see and describe what is before your eyes requires special and laborious studies.
We will consider what happens in nature, in the world that's before our eyes, in the consciousness of the self as it is offered in the psychological experience, and we will decipher the essential assumptions.
We will then construct a method of "phenomenological reduction" that will allow us to overcome the boundaries of natural research, avoiding its unique direction until we have a broad view of transcendently purified phenomena, thus entering the territory of phenomenology.
And with that being said, I conclude my article,but not before giving the proper credit to a work that inspired me to write this post called "Ideas for pure phenomenology and phenomenological philosophy" by Edmund Husserl, hoping that you will find it interesting and a good read. If that's the case, feel free to follow me to stay up to date with my posts and let me know what you think about it in your comments!
Happy Steem my steemian friends!
