Why “back to the things themselves”?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Husserl’s phenomenology is epitomized in his call for a return “back to the things themselves,” “Zur\u00fcck zu den Sachen selbst<\/em>.” We view this “return” as a shared project. The return is intersubjective and not solipsistic: we return to the things in order to dialogue together about them together in the contexts of our philosophical, psychological, and other work.\u00a0The impetus for this blog originated in conversations among colleagues who had studied phenomenological psychology with Amedeo Giorgi. Our line-by-line reading of Husserl or Merleau-Ponty with him opened the door to the phenomenological tradition and its implications for the human sciences, and encouraged us to bring philosophers into the conversation.<\/p>\n

As group of psychologist and philosophers–and as an extension of our teaching, research, and scholarly writing–we’re turning to this online platform in order to broaden the discussion in a more conversational voice. In doing so, we will be speaking from a largely Husserlian foundation–yet one that’s open to the richness of the phenomenological tradition’s descriptive and hermeneutic dimensions, and is intrinsically interdisciplinary. More than anything else, we hope to contribute to what Husserl envisioned as\u00a0“the progressive development of a phenomenological community” (in Fink, 1995, translated by Bruzina, p. 191).<\/p>\n<\/fb:like><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
