Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course offers students the opportunity to find their way into Husserl's phenomenology, a major current of contemporary philosophy. Its aim is twofold: on the one hand, the course introduces into phenomenology by way of following the guiding threads of its historic genesis as well as its thematic diversification; on the other hand, it focuses the most important methodical questions as well as central topics.
Both basic questions concerning the phenomenological method (phenomenological epoché, the reduction, static/genetic/generative phenomenology) and concrete phenomenological studies (world, time, embodiment, intersubjectivity) will be explored.
The course is designed to create the necessary qualifications for independent work in phenomenology. The textual basis comprises
selected passages from Husserl's works and relevant secondary literature.
