Abstrakt: | The paper deals with Eugen Fink’s interpretation of transcendental I. Fink does
not make do with traditional phenomenological distinction between natural I and
transcendental I, but within transcendental I he looks for the distinction between
constitutive I (konstituierendes Ich) i phenomenologizing I. Hence, according to Fink,
we should distinguish three kinds of I: natural I (trapped in the world), transcendental
I which constitutes the world and transcendental-phenomenologizing I
(transzendental-phänomenologisierendes Ich) as theoretical spectator, who meets the
conditions of phenomenological reduction but does not contribute to the constitution
of the world. Finks interpretation of transcendental I aims at overcoming difficulties
related to Husserlian phenomenological reduction, and the distinction of constitutive
I and phenomenologizing I was accepted by Husserl himself. |
