Given his critique of the fashionable “philosophy of existence” of the late 1920s and early 1930s, one might think that Husserl posited an opposition between transcendental phenomenology and existential philosophy, as well as that in this respect he differed from existential phenomenologists after him. But texts composed between 1908 and 1937 and recently published in Husserliana XLII, Grenzprobleme der Phänomenologie (2014), show that the existential Husserl was not opposed but open to the phenomenological investigation of several basic topics of a philosophy of existence. A collection of contributions from a team of internationally recognized scholars drawing on these and other sources, the present volume offers insights into the relationship between phenomenology and philosophy of existence. It does so by (1) delineating the basic outlines of Husserl’s phenomenology of existence, (2) reinterpreting the tension between Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology and Jaspers’s and Heidegger’s philosophy of existence as well as Kierkegaard’s and Sartre’s existentialism, and (3) investigating the existential aspects of Husserl’s phenomenological ethics. Thus focusing on neglected aspects of Husserl’s thought, the volume shows that there is a consensus between classical phenomenology and existential phenomenology on the urgency of addressing the existential questions that in The Crisis of the European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology (1936) Husserl calls “the questions concerning the meaning or meaninglessness of this entire human existence”. The Existential Husserl represents a major contribution to the clarification of the historical and philosophical developments from transcendental phenomenology to existential phenomenology. The book should appeal to a wide audience of many readers at all levels looking for phenomenological answers to existential questions.

What is the nature of an emotional response to fiction? Are emotions indifferent to the existence of what causes them? How do fictional emotions relate to their real counterparts? The volume gathers ten innovative essays tackling these questions from a phenomenological perspective.

This paper provides a cartography of Husserl's theory of science, delineating its scope, tasks, and disciplines with their respective fields. The first section discusses Husserl's system of a theory of science. The second reconstructs the architectonic of Husserl's formal logic, intended both as formal apophantics and formal ontology. The third considers the evolution of the scope of Husserl's theory of science as including a plurality of material logics. The fourth discusses Husserl's notion of noetics as subjective logic. The fifth and last section specifies the function of phenomenology in Husserl's program of Wissenschaftslehre.

I argue that they bear quite an odd relation to each other in the sense that self-consciousness seems to jeopardize self-identity. My main concern is to elucidate this issue within the range of the transcendental philosophies of Immanuel Kant and Edmund Husserl. In the first section, I shall briefly consider Kant’s own rendition of the problem of the Egosplitting. My reading of the Kantian texts reveals that Kant himself was aware of this phenomenon but eventually deems it an unexplainable fact. The second part of the paper tackles the same problematic from the standpoint of Husserlian phenomenology. What Husserl’s extensive analyses on this topic bring to light is that the phenomenon of the Ego-splitting constitutes the bedrock not only of his thought but also of every philosophy that works within the framework of transcendental thinking.

In the fi rst part, we argue that phenomenology of happiness is an important albeit relatively neglected area of research, and we show that Husserl engages in it. In the second part, we examine the relationship between phenomenological ethics and virtue ethics. In the third part, we identify and clarify essential aspects of Husserl's phenomenology of happiness, namely, the nature of the question concerning happiness and the possibility of a phenomenological answer, the power of the will, the role of vocation, the place of obligation, the signifi cance of habituation, the necessity of self-refl ection and self-criticism, the importance of sociability and solidarity, the impact of chance and destiny, and the specter of regret. In the fourth part, we establish the inextricable linkage between Husserl's metaethics and his metaphysics. In the fi ft h part, we provide a provisional exploration of his conception of the connection between happiness and blessedness. We acknowledge that there is an extensive literature on Husserl's phenomenological ethics, and our study has benefi tted greatly from it, but we also suggest that our holistic approach critically clarifi es his description of happiness, virtue, and blessedness by fully recognizing that his phenomenological metaethics is embedded in his phenomenological metaphysics.

This paper argues that the experience of fictional emotions entails a splitting of the subject between a real and a phantasy ego. The real ego is the ego that imagines something; the phantasy ego is the ego that is necessarily co-posited by any experience of imagining something. Fictional emotions are phantasy emotions of the phantasy ego. The intentional structure of fictional emotions, the nature of their fictional object, as well as the process of constituting the phantasy ego in representificational acts of consciousness are further elaborated to provide the groundwork for a phenomenological analysis of fictional emotions.

The article questions this reading. First, I introduce the method used by Husserl in his analyses of the concept of number in the Philosophy of Arithmetic. Second, I outline Husserl’s critique of Kant’s conception of synthesis and contrast it with its phenomenological alternative, namely relation theory. Finally, I focus on the product of synthesis, that is, the number, and argue that even if Husserl’s early analyses of the concept of number contains a reference to the subject of synthesis, his theory cannot be regarded as psychologistic.

In this paper I consider one aspect that seems to be crucial to the understanding of a particular form of imagination that Husserl names pure phantasy. I argue that the phenomenon of Ego-splitting discloses the best way to elucidate the peculiarity of pure phantasy with respect to other forms of representative acts (such as remembering) and to any simple form of act modification (such as neutrality modification). First, I unravel the phenomenological distinctions which, respectively, oppose phantasy to perception, on the one hand, and phantasy to other forms of the so-called “intuitive re-presentations”. Second, I introduce the difference between presentative and representative acts, arguing that this cannot help us to single out the defining feature of phantasy experiences. The third section draws again an important distinction between pure phantasy and neutrality modification, which allows me to finally determine an internal trait of phantasy experiences, which Husserl refers to as the “Ego-splitting” (Ichspaltung). In this way, I hope to contribute to a refined characterization of Husserl’s phenomenology of imagination.

Husserls. Zum anderen dient das Ergebnis dieser ersten Untersuchung dann als Grundlage für die Frage nach dem Wesen des Ich in der genetischen Phänomenologie. Die Untersuchung besteht (nach einer kurzen Einleitung) aus drei Teilen: Zuerst stelle ich, um die Bedeutung des Begriffs „Habitus“ zu klären, Ingardens Interpretationsalternativen der Habituskonstitution vor. Im Anschluss daran werde ich mich mit dem sogenannten „transzendentalen Okkasionalismus“ befassen, der eine der zuvor vorgestellten Alternativen Ingardens aufgreift und weiterführt. Der „transzendentale Okkasionalismus“ vertritt die These, dass die habituellen Eigenschaften des Ich durch den einfachen Vollzug der Akte entstünden. Weil diese These als Interpretation des Habitusbegriffs bei Husserl weit verbreitet ist, muss sie als Lösungsansatz in Erwägung gezogen werden. Jedoch zeigt eine genaue Lektüre der Forschungsmanuskripte Husserls, dass dieser scheinbare Lösungsansatz einen dort wichtigen Begriff außer Acht lässt: die „Geschichte des Ich“. Diese wird im dritten und letzten Teil dieses Aufsatzes näher betrachtet und erläutert. Husserl selbst hob nämlich einen wesenhaften Zusammenhang zwischen den mannigfaltigen Erfahrungen des Ich hervor, durch den die Bezeichnung der Habituskonstitution als „Okkasionalismus“ nicht zutreffend sein kann. Aus diesem Grund geht dieser Beitrag über die reine Wiedergabe der Habitusproblematik in Husserls Phänomenologie hinaus und beschreibt eine Auffassung der transzendentalen Subjektivität, die aus dem Spätwerk Husserls stammt.

Despite this topic has been almost disregarded by Husserlian scholars, it is of uttermost importance if one aims at illuminating the origins of Husserl's phenomenological thinking. My thesis is that Husserl's concept of natural attitude and
its correlate, the natural world (Umwelt) —as they emerge in various lectures during the 1910s and especially in Ideen I with respect to the phenomenological reduction— stem from an early confrontation with Avenarius’ “empiriocriticist” standpoint as laid out in his book Der menschliche Weltbegriff. In order to uphold this claim, I will discuss in my paper Husserl's gradual approach to the theories of the Swiss-German philosopher as well as his late critique of the same. Although Husserl in fact conceived of Avenarius’ standpoint as a valuable beginning, he was decisively prompted in his late reflections to call into question some of the premises of the “empirio-criticist” philosophy.

Zunächst wird eine schematische Zusammenfassung der aus der deutschen Philosophie des 19. Jahrhunderts stammenden Debatte über die Fundierung der Geisteswissenschaften dargeboten. Dies soll dazu dienen, den philosophisch-historischen Hintergrund, in den Husserls Denkmotiv über die Beziehung zwischen Phänomenologie und Geisteswissenschaften eingebunden ist, zu begreifen. Danach wird Husserls Beitrag in dieser Debatte abgewägt, wobei im Besonderen die neuen Begriffe und Denkmotive, die von ihm in die Diskussion eingefügt wurden, nämlich der der regionalen Ontologie und der der personalistischen Einstellung, betrachtet werden. Dieser zweite und letzte Teil schließt mit einer Erörterung des von Husserl angegebenen Vorrangs der Geisteswissenschaften und des Geistes als ihr Korrelat, vor den Naturwissenschaften ab.

This paper adopts a phenomenological perspective to explore the subjective conditions inherent in the experience of exile, with a specific focus on the displacement associated with it. In delving into the unique phenomenology of exile, the paper contends that a genetic phenomenological standpoint is apt for describing the disembedded habits of the exile subject (Lohmar 2013). This disembedding gives rise to the phenomenon of hysteresis (Bourdieu 2010), creating a rift between the exile’s habits and their experience of place. Unlike other forms of displacement, the paper argues that the exile’s uprootedness is irreparable, as their habits remain anchored to the homeworld even when physically located in an alien world (Steinbock 1995). This displaced state is akin to living in a “median state” (Said 1996), where the old and new, the homeworld and the alien world, coexist in an intricate but impossible connection. The feeling of disorientation experienced by the exile (Améry 1980) is attributed to the failure of typification (Schutz 1944), a consequence of the disembedding of their habits. The habits of home (Flusser 2004) persist as an indelible memory within the body (Fuchs 2012), contributing to the existential challenge faced by the exile in reconciling a lost attachment to a place. In summary, this paper employs a genetic phenomenological lens to unravel the complexities of exile displacement, shedding light on the irreparable disjunction between the exile’s habits and their physical location, resulting in a perpetual “median state” of existence.

Diese Problematik betrifft eine Reihe unterschiedlicher Fragestellungen, unter denen die folgende: Wie ist die Beharrlichkeit des Subjekts im Verlaufe der Zeit möglich? Die Methode, mit der ich jene Fragen der sogenannten " diachronischen Identität " beantworten möchte, ist die Phänomenologie. Diese versteht sich dem Hauptgedanken ihres Gründers, Edmund Husserls, gemäß als eine Wissenschaft, die nach den erfahrungsmäßigen Bedingungen der Möglichkeit jeder Art von Phänomenen sucht. In diesem Zusammenhang werden demnach die Bedingungen der Erfahrung der diachronischen Identität des Subjekts berücksichtigt. Die aktuelle Debatte um die Natur der Subjektivität wird von zwei teils konkurrierenden, teils komplementären Perspektiven beherrscht. Die eine beantwortet die Frage nach der Identität des Subjekts in verschiedenen Zeiten mittels des Rekurses auf die Theorie der narrativen Identität. Diese Theorie geht von der Annahme aus, dass nur eine sozial-konstruktivistische Auffassung der " Lebensgeschichte " eines Subjekts den Grund für seine Identität durch die Zeit ausmachen kann. Demgegenüber wurde an der entgegengesetzten Seite der Debatte die Meinung vertreten, dass die Bedingungen der Möglichkeit für eine subjektiv erfahrbare Identität des Subjekts in dem Begriff des sogenannten " minimalen Selbst " zu finden sind. Das minimale Selbst bezeichnet die Art und Weise, wie jedwede Erfahrung aus der Erste-Person-Perspektive vom Subjekt erlebt wird. Nun ist es meine Ansicht, dass beide Positionen Vorteile sowie Nachteile aufweisen. In meinem Beitrag werde ich in erster Linie die Unzulänglichkeiten beider Pole der Debatte um die personale Identität betrachten, um daraus die Bedingungen feststellen zu können, die sich für eine Theorie des Subjekts als unentbehrlich aufweisen. Als eigenen Interpretationsvorschlag werde ich dann die Lehre der habitualisierenden Sedimentation der Erfahrung vonseiten der späten, genetischen Phänomenologie E. Husserls in Erwägung ziehen, um eine bisher unbeachtete Alternative in dieser Debatte einzubringen. Meiner Ansicht nach ist nämlich die Theorie der Habitualitäten imstande, die Unzulänglichkeiten der beiden genannten Interpretationen der diachronischen Identität des Ich zu beseitigen und sich als konkurrenzfähige Alternative zu beweisen. Auf diese Weise möchte ich darauf abzielen, die Grundlagen für eine phänomenologische Theorie der personalen Identität umzureißen.

If one wishes to look at the problem of imagination within the framework of Edmund Husserl’s phil... more If one wishes to look at the problem of imagination within the framework of Edmund Husserl’s philosophical undertaking, one has to recall at least two aspects of his theory. The first is its fundamentally non-systematic character. This means to say that Husserl actually never reached a full-fledged theory of imagination, as we may expect from probably more systematic philosophers such as, for instance, Aristotle, David Hume or Immanuel Kant. In other terms, it would be (and, indeed, it has been ) a research topic per se to single out the various nuances and versions of Husserl’s versions of his theory about imaginative phenomena. These find namely their place not solely in the texts published during his life , but also in a conspicuous number of lectures and research manuscripts that constitute a great part of his Nachlass . A second aspect beyond the just stressed non-systematicity of Husserl’s analyses for what regard the phenomenon of imagination, and naturally depended on the latter, is its not definitive character. In other terms, we must recognize the fact that Husserl’s analyses are not a now and forever fulfilled task, but they ask for completion and, in some cases, perhaps even for correction. Far from being a distinctive marking of Husserl’s investigations into the realm of imaginative experiences, this aspect is, after all, a common feature of his phenomenological enterprise in general. Accordingly, the principal task of a philosophical assessment of Husserl’s theory of imagination does not simply involve an historical overview of his changing positions concerning the notion of imagination during his lifetime, but also, and probably more stringently, a challenging confrontation with its biases and, if possible, the opening of new research fields.
The present paper wants to place itself in the second of these vectors of analysis. It is my intent to provide here an examination of a particular form of imagination, namely pure phantasy, as carried out by Husserl. In this respect, I will knowingly put aside historical and philological aspects, while focusing more on the theoretical traits that characterize Husserl’s phenomenology of phantasy.
Once displayed the main goal that should guide the following discussion, let me briefly sketch out the structure of the present paper. First, I will tackle the problem of imagination in Husserl’s phenomenology by focusing, as already said, on what Husserl calls “pure phantasy” (reine Phantasie). This compels me to unravel in the first place the phenomenological distinctions which respectively oppose phantasy to perception, on the one hand, and phantasy to other forms of the so-called “intuitive re-presentations” (anschauliche Vergegenwärtigungen), such as image-consciousness, remembering, and empathy, on the other. Second, I shall determine an internal trait of phantasy experiences, which Husserl in his manuscripts and lectures refers to as the “I-fissure” (Spaltung des Ich). This fact, namely that phantasy entails a sort of reduplication of the I and of the stream of consciousness, plays a crucial role in Husserl’s definition of phantasmatic experiences in contrast to perception and the other forms of re-presentation. In this section, I shall then introduce a particular notion that should help us closely to understand this phenomenon: namely, the notion of internal consciousness (also known with the more popular expression ‘pre-reflective self-awareness’). In this way, I hope to contribute to a refined characterization of Husserl’s phenomenology of imagination and, in particular, of his theory of phantasy.

Graduate School for the Humanities Cologne. Its goal is to bring together graduate students as well as experienced researchers interested in the relation of phantasy and emotions in the Husserlian work. Two keynote speakers from the Husserl Archive Cologne and four keynote speakers from abroad will lead the discussion.
Topic:
Since the publication in 1980 of Husserliana 23, Phantasie, Bildbewusstsein, Erinnerung, the topic of phantasy has experienced a renewal of interest among phenomenologists and researchers from different backgrounds. Not only philosophers but also transdisciplinary investigators have paid attention to Husserlian insights related to the phenomenological method, the nature of pictoriality and aesthetic experiences, the classification of presentifications, and the differences between sensations and phantasms, among others. In the contemporary era marked by mass media products in constant reinvention, a Husserlian framework for disciplines trying to clarify experiences such as watching movies, listening to and reading literary fiction, or playing video games, continues to be promising and attractive. However, almost 40 years after its publication, we can say that specialized works on the subject have neglected one of the problems mentioned by Husserl. This problem concerns an important feature difficult to avoid in our everyday phantasy experiences, namely, the relation between the fictional object and the emotions of the subject actually experiencing it. For instance, reading about the fate of Anna Karenina we have sympathy for her, despite knowing she is a fictional character. Or watching a horror movie, we are afraid of the dreadful events depicted on the screen. Also, looking at a painted landscape of Caspar David Friedrich, we might feel anguish and despair. What is the nature of such emotional responses to phantasied objects? Are emotions indifferent to the actual existence of that which they relate to? How do these fictional emotions relate to their real counterparts? This international workshop aims to address this set of problems, thus promising to fill a gap in the Husserlian scholarship on the phenomenology of phantasy.

A further line will be dedicated to the relation of phenomenological methods to experimental methods in general, Science of Nature and Human Sciences.
The lecturers are: Prof. Dr. Dieter Lohmar (Cologne), Jun. Prof. Dr. Thiemo Breyer (Cologne), Prof. Dr. Jagna Brudzińska (Köln/Warschau), Prof. Dr. Christian Ferencz-Flatz (Bucarest/Köln), Prof. Dr. Alice Pugliese (Palermo), Dr. Emanuele Caminada (KUW Leuven), Marco Cavallaro MA (Köln), Sergio Pérez Gatica MA (Mexico/Cologne), Regina Schreiber MA (Cologne).
We are planning for a medium level that should inform intensively on the different aspects, but we are also open for discussions and questions on the level of doctoral students and postdocs.
This course will also be handled as a "Hauptseminar" for students of Cologne University. For those students of the University of Cologne who want to obtain a qualified certificate for this Hauptseminar, a written paper on a topic to be determined is expected.
This international Summer School is open for students from all countries. The courses will be held mostly in English.
Because we have no financial support to offer for participants we strongly encourage you to apply for short term grants at your university or other institutions.
Time: Monday-Friday 31 July – 04 August 2017, each day 10:00–13.00 and 15:00–17.00

Moreover, it is the only school which deals specifically with Edmund Husserl, and, as such, it is a must for anybody interested in the founder of the phenomenological movement.
This year’s topic was genetic phenomenology. Related issues, such as pre-predicative experience, the lived body, the relation of phenomenology to psychology, the access to other persons, intersubjective constitution, history, phantasy and the life-world, were also touched upon by a series of presentations carried out by internationally renowned Husserl scholars.
In the morning sessions, professors and post-graduates presented accessible lectures which unraveled particular topics related to Husserl’s thought. The afternoon sessions were devoted to either textual discussions or presentations by graduate students.
