PHIL 560 - Intro to Phenomenology

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PHIL - Philosophy

Description:

This course will begin by reading Edmund Husserl's Crisis. Some themes to be developed will be: the sense of the crisis and the need for historical reflection, life-world, the status and significance of psychology in relation to transendental phenomenology. We will next read selections from the works of Heidegger. Representative examples of the readings would be: the Introduction to Being and Time, and On the Essence of Truth. We will seriously consider Heidegger's claim that phenomenology is possible only as ontology and ontology only as phenomenology. Husserl asks: Wie konnen wir jetzt wirklich zu Philosophen werden?
