Abstract
| The Otherness of the Other is a key issue of the contemporary philosophy. The primacy of this problem is based on its general validity on the one hand, and its intensity on the other. It is a recurrent problem in different philosophical discourses, from the intersubjective to the metaphysical; and it is also one the most original problem as it concern not just phenomena from a isolated region, but the possibility of appearing as such. In a nutshell, the question of Otherness is a transcendental problem. The transcendental questioning of Otherness can be traced back to the theory of intersubjectivity of Husserl's phenomenology. Taking Husserl famous analysis of ”Fremderfahrung” as a starting point, we would like to reexamine in this article Husserl's project of intersubjectivity, as well as to reveal the internal tension between the project of transcendental phenomenology and the problem of Other. Our working thesis is: The problem of Other has enormous import to the inflection, even to the destruction of the course of transcendental phenomenology. |
