Abstract:

This presentation discusses the central thesis of my introduction to Husserl, Edmund Husserl Between Phenomenology and Metaphysics: An Opinionated Introduction (forthcoming): namely, that Husserl’s phenomenology can only be properly understood when interpreted sub specie metaphysicae, as a project aimed at grounding a new scientific metaphysics. Against dominant interpretations that portray phenomenology as methodologically neutral, anti-metaphysical, or merely descriptive of subjective experience, the presentation argues that Husserl consistently conceived phenomenology as the path toward a rigorous renewal of metaphysics. The talk reconstructs the author’s notion of “Orthodox Husserlianism,” according to which phenomenology’s ultimate ambition is neither a philosophy of consciousness nor a theory of meaning, but the systematic foundation of metaphysics as “ultimate science of reality.” Particular attention is devoted to the historical and conceptual development of Husserl’s idea of metaphysics, from its early formulation as erste Philosophie to its later transformation into letzte Philosophie and, finally, into the comprehensive realization of philosophical rationality. The presentation also addresses Husserl’s critique of contemporary philosophy, his diagnosis of the “crisis of European sciences,” and his utopian conception of philosophy as a revolutionary transformation of culture. By situating phenomenology within the broader history of Western metaphysics, the paper proposes a radical reinterpretation of Husserl’s philosophical legacy that goes beyond the usual division between realism and (transcendental) idealism.

报告摘要：

本报告旨在探讨本人有关胡塞尔哲学的导论《在现象学与形而上学之间的埃德蒙德·胡塞尔：带有立场的导论》中的核心观点：胡塞尔现象学只有在纳入形而上学之下、作为奠立科学的新形而上学的计划的情况下，才能得到恰当的理解。有别于将现象学解释为方法论中立、反形而上学或者对主体体验单纯进行描述的主流诠释，本报告力图表明，胡塞尔一贯地将现象学视为通向对形而上学进行严格更新的道路。本报告将对报告人“正统胡塞尔主义”的概念进行重构；据此，现象学的终极志向既非意识哲学亦非意义理论，而是对作为“实在的终极科学”的形而上学进行系统奠基。特别地，本报告将关注胡塞尔形而上学概念的历史和概念发展，从“第一哲学”的早期表述到“最终哲学”的后期演变，以及最后演化为对哲学理性的全面实现。本报告将同样探讨胡塞尔对同时代哲学的批评、他对“欧洲科学危机”的诊断、以及他乌托邦式的、将哲学视为对文化进行革命性转变的立场。本报告通过将现象学置入更广阔的西方形而上学历史之中，将对胡塞尔超出通常实在论与（超越论）观念论二分的哲学遗产进行一项激进的诠释。
