Horizon and Alterity in Husserl
Lünser, Julian Alexander ; Novotný, Karel (advisor) ; Brudzinska, Jagna (referee)
Julian Lünser Master's Thesis Master Erasmus Mundus: Europhilosophie Charles University, Prague 5th May 2023 Abstract Horizon and Alterity in Husserl The problem of alterity was not thematised frontally by Husserl, in contrast to the work of later phenomenologists. Notwithstanding, following the thesis that is defended here, it is possible to conceive of an implicit conception of alterity in Husserl's writings. Such a conception shows itself in a more precise analysis of Husserl's concept of the horizon which stands in an ambivalent relation to alterity: On the one hand, the horizon structure refers to a non-given excess, and thus opens up alterity; on the other hand, this excess is always already, at least minimally, prescribed and hence withdraws the otherness from the alterity. This ambivalent relation is described in the course of this master's thesis on different levels. This allows to distinguish between the alterity of the immediately appearing, exemplified by things and the own self, and the alterity of the mediately appearing, such as the other person. While it is possible to directly explicate and hence test the horizons of the immediatly appearing, such a possibility is not given for the apperception of the mediately appearing. In addition, the temporal structure of the appearance of alterity is...

The Critical in Husserl's Phenomenology: the Levels of Constitution as a Question of Method
Ramírez Clavería, Camila Ignacia ; Novotný, Karel (advisor) ; Brudzinska, Jagna (referee)
The Critical in Husserl's Phenomenology: the Levels of Constitution as a Question of Method Considering the contemporary discussion between critical, applied and engaged phenomenology, there seems to be a claim for a critical stand when it comes to considering concrete experience and, moreover, those experiences that have been neglected throughout history. Thus, the present work has the aim to show that this movement is characterized by the need of a critical potential which is already present in Edmund Husserl's work. Moreover, this potential is considered here as a question related to the method, through which we gain access to the underlying structures of experience. Thus, the five levels described are the following: intersubjective community, interpersonal intersubjectivity, active constitution, passive synthesis and hyletic flow. According to this, the focus is set on showing the way in which they are always connected to one another allowing thus to describe the complexity through which experience is articulated. Key Words: Critical phenomenology, phenomenological method, levels of constitution, complexity of experience.
