Originally published in German, the essay explores how the awareness of transitoriness influences the human psyche through a dialogue between Freud, a young poet, and a melancholicfriend. Freud discusses the fragility of beauty, the appreciation of transitoriness, mourning, libido, the impact of war, and the renewal of meaning in the face of the inevitability of decline.

Our hypothesis is that these elements play fundamental roles in the ordering of temporal conscious experience, since retentive consciousness, as delineated by Husserl, not only retains the past but actively constitutes the continuous unity of the stream of consciousness, seamlessly integrating past experiences with the temporal now (Jetzt). This capacity is facilitated by the double intentionality of retention (doppelte Intentionalität der Retention), which allows consciousness to structure its temporal experiences in a continuous and cohesive manner. Additionally, longitudinal intentionality operates in the transformation of proto-sensations into more complex retentional structures, contributing decisively to the structuring of the temporal continuity of conscious experience. We also explore temporal perception in Husserlian phenomenology, highlighting how the interaction between the constitution of immanent (transcendental) time and the quasi-temporal insertion (quasi-zeitlich) of the phases of the stream of consciousness promotes a unified and continuous perception of time. We argue that this dynamic explains temporality in human experience and underscores the importance of the self-appearance (Selbsterscheinung) of the stream of consciousness for the cohesion of conscious life in Husserlian phenomenology.

The research aims to delineate the two primary metaphysical premises discussed in Frankl’s work: the transcendence of consciousness and the intentional character of the unconscious. It explores how Frankl intersects Husserl’s conceptualization of consciousness with the spiritual dimension, linking it to Freud’s concept of the unconscious. This approach leads to an interpretative hypothesis suggesting that transcending the boundaries of the unconscious through spiritual conscious acts establishes a relationship with emotional intuition within Max Scheler’s values. The dissertation unfolds in five chapters. The introductory chapter sets the stage, followed by the second chapter, outlining Frankl’s propositions and motivations for establishing his psychotherapy. The third chapter delves into understanding the psychic system through Freudian theory and Frankl’s Existenzanalyse. In the fourth chapter, Frankl’s perspective on the spiritual unconscious as a revealer of a pre-cognitive dimension of intuiting values from Scheler’s phenomenology is elaborated – a ‘strong reading’ of emotional intuition within Scheler’s values, encompassing both the conscious sphere and the realm of the spiritual unconscious. The fifth chapter analyzes the interactions between consciousness and human freedom, asserting that while consciousness illuminates paths towards higher values, it does not act as an irresistible force determining individual actions. It concludes that within a psychic system comprising consciousness and the unconscious, Frankl aligns closely with Husserl’s approach to consciousness without seeking to redefine it. Regarding the unconscious, aligned with Freud’s perspective, Frankl supplements Freudian unconscious contents with spiritual elements. This addition underpins an interpretation of Scheler’s emotional intuition of values, resulting in an approach that may be deemed a ‘strong reading’ where the intuition of superior values can, albeit unconsciously, guide human behaviour.

First, I try to present the relationship between the body and localized sensations [lokalisierter Empfindungen]. Secondly, I seek to define the constitution of the body in the tactile scope in the face of the visible dimension, in order to demonstrate the importance of primary constitutions in the face of intentional consciousness in view of the conclusion that the constitution of the external object body in Ideas II occurs in the tactile dimension and not in the visible dimension.

É demonstrado através da análise da vivência empática, elaborada por Edmund Husserl e Edith Stein, que permite reconhecer o fundamento fenomenológico-ontológico da pessoa do outro conectado à identificação da estrutura essencial do ser humano, tripartida em: corpo vivo (Leib, dimensão físico-psíquica), alma (Seele) e espírito (Geist). Dessa forma, o problema atual da mente e do corpo é reconduzido em direção às suas raízes metafísicas originais e à expressão tradicional mente-corpo. Por fim, os resultados da análise fenomenológica da empatia são confrontados com a recente descoberta dos “neurônios espelho” em um diálogo frutífero entre ciência e filosofia que preserva ambas as condições epistemológicas e seus respectivos critérios metodológicos, superando o binômio redutivo mente-corpo e compreendendo a verdade da pessoa humana.

On the religious phenomenon, Sigmund Freud directs his gaze to one of the most important criticisms of religion; according to the Viennese, religion is an ingrained illusion of sentimentality that the individual suffers from the cosmos. This article presents the Freudian perspective of religion, with the understanding of God according to the philosophical influence of Ludwig Feuerbach — who points to theology as an anthropology and formulates the concept of projection in his work.

Created by the philosopher and teacher of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Juarez Gomes Sofiste, this article analyzes the method of D.I. with a premise of the educational methodological response exposed to the problematic of mechanistic teaching of learning in the contemporaneity, in concluding that an organization chosen and philosophically presented for education through the D.I. What is important is that the paradigm shifts are not true in the target teaching, in the context of a new perspective, from the perspective of the philosophy of education and, in a synthetic way, are brought to a totally "libertarian", pedagogical and phenomenological concept in the teaching of philosophy.

conceptions about the epistemology and, more precisely, of the constitution of the thesis
on the criticism and, not less important, of the formulation of the conceptual structure
"transcendental apperception", that is, of the ―I think‖ in philosophy. Front to the
problems of the modern philosophy, to relate the criticism in Kant to the coming of the
German idealism requests to bring to the surface one of the main philosophers, so much
of the idealism in itself, but a successor, par excellence, of the neokantians, to know:
Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762 -1814). Therefore, for this approach tends the
transformation of the philosophy the Kant under the reading of Fichte concerning the
reformulation of the concept of the "transcendental apperception, in other words, of the
me leaning, for the formulation of the ― pure I‖ in Fichte.
