Auf der Suche nach dem Sitz im Leben

‘Away with the hollow word analyses. We have to question the things themselves. Back to experience.’ This is how Edmund Husserl succinctly formulated his idea, thus providing an impetus that is still valid today. In this sense, the aim of phenomenology is not only to examine traditional terms and theories for their formal correctness, but also to find a ‘place in life’ for them.
The 25 studies from three decades are inspired by Hermann Schmitz's New Phenomenology and deal with the following topics: Phenomenology, situations, subjectivity, person, personal frame, sensibility, hope, natural aesthetics, political existentialism, irony, alienation, time horizon.
