Course description
This introductory course of Edmund Husserl's thought (1859-1938) offers an acquaintance with its fundamental concepts and investigations of consciousness. The course is based on three central texts of Husserl; additional texts will also be considered. The first part of the course deals with selected excerpts of Husserl's Logical Investigations (1901, 1921). This part presents Husserl's conception of consciousness as intentionality and clarifies the derived senses of knowledge, evidence and truth. In the second part we will discuss excerpts from Ideas I (1913) in order to get acquainted with Husserl's development of method to transcendental phenomenology. In this section, we will discuss the principles of the method and the findings of these new investigations that broaden and deepen our understanding of the essential structures of consciousness. Our discussion of excerpts from On the Phenomenology of Internal Time Consciousness (1893-1917) will further deepen our initial understanding by integrating the investigations that seek to clarify how, by our very intention towards objects, we acquire a consciousness of time.
