Abstract:
|
Phenomenology refers to what is arguably the most significant philosophic attempt to date to redress the limits and distortions of scientific thinking. Phenomenologists retain the objectifying mind-gaze that is the basis for such thinking, while seeking to engage in a more subjectifying, re-embodied, and re-embedded form of it. The founder of the movement, Edmund Husserl, saw phenomenologists holding to one side the substantive analytic findings and assumptions that constitute a scientific discipline like world affairs, while seeking to discern the mental practices that are the ground for all such findings and assumptions. The paper seeks to show what these mental practices might be, in principle and in practice (deferring, clumping, caring, and the like), and how a better understanding of them might help further our understanding of contemporary world affairs. |

| a different epistemological approach. He provided his own way to critique the rationalist project and his own way to complete it. In reaching towards Husserl's Grail we are shown how profoundly we are implicated in world affairs and we are shown a way to compensate for the "limitations and obscurities" that rationalism creates.(Sokolowski 2000 202-3 204) Other critiques of rationalism do this too but so does phenomenology. It shows us how rationalism puts the world at a mental distance |
