Philosophical Rationality and Phenomenology of Subjectivity

 • Conducting phenomenological research of subjectivity beyond its reflective and expected ‘horizontal’ dimension
• Considering two opposite philosophical approaches:
◦ Primarily, the approach of post-Husserlian phenomenology (M.Merleau-Ponty, M.Henry, M.Richir, D.Trigg) aimed at studying the ego affectation by body, language, ‘others’, history and technology. Within this approach, the ego is being constituted by passive syntheses, the ontological interpretation of which implies going beyond the internal boundary of the phenomenon. This implies the constitution of non-descriptive phenomenology
◦ Secondly, another approach of completely reducing subjectivity to the meaning structure of the present situation itself. Unlike the phenomenology of being (M.Heidegger, J.-L.Marion), this approach considers ‘neutralization’ of the ego, that in turn indicates its ‘horizontal’ structures as boundaries of a particular act of presence, and the objective situation itself as unfolding around the local meaning core. Reaching the phenomenon’s external boundary develops non-intential phenomenology.
• Combining these opposite approaches that consider reaching internal (material-sensory) and external (subject-meaning) boundaries gives a holistic description of subjectivity as an ontological phenomenon
