The Original Phenomenological Movement

  • Chapter
The Phenomenological Movement

Part of the book series: Phaenomenologica ((PHAE,volume 5/6))

Abstract

There was no such thing as a definite beginning of a Phenomenological Movement, let alone a school, in Husserl’s wake, just as little as there had been a deliberate and clearly marked founding of phenomenology in his own development. But around 1905 Husserl began to attract a number of students, in the beginning chiefly from Munich, who developed a kind of group spirit and initiative which led gradually to the formation of the Göttingen Circle.

Remarkably, Lipps himself abandoned and rejected this “psychologism” as early as 1903, especially in his treatise on “Inhalt und Gegenstand; Psychologie und Logik” of 1905; in fact, at the International Congress of Psychology in Rome of the same year he denounced William James’s position as Psychologismus. Also, the personal relations between Lipps and Husserl warmed up, leading to personal visits and to Lipps’s nomination of Husserl as a member of the Bavarian Academy and, on Husserl’s side, to intensive study of Lipps’s work, especially with regard to Lipps’s concept of empathy.

Scheler’s characterization of the Munich Circle in a text made available in the Zusätze to volume VII of his Gesammelte Werke (pp. 327–330) is worth mentioning here in translation, especially about the “strange way of its formation and the even stranger growth of this circle… through growing additions from very specific schools, whose members brought along their own orientations, methods and problems… The core group of the so-called Phenomenology was the school of Theodor Lipps: Pfänder, Reinach, Geiger, whom later I myself joined after transferring my habilitation [from Jena to Munich in 1907]…. Hence not a society formed where Husserl himself taught (Halle, Göttingen, Freiburg) but an [independent] society in Munich.”

In England, since Bosanquet’s review of Pfänder’s contribution to the first volume of the phenomenological yearbook in Mind XXIII (1914), 591 f., only John Laird in his Recent Philosophy (Home University Library, 1936) has paid attention to him, but in a rather misleading context. As to France, Jacques Maritain in his highly critical discussion of phenomenology in Distinguer pour unir ou les degrés de la connaissance (1932; English translation by Bernard Wall, Centenary Press, 1937) refers at least in a footnote (p. 122 of the translation) to the “Munich school, which does not follow Husserl’s neo-idealism, and whose full significance cannot be easily gauged until the work of Alexander Pfänder has been published completely.” Pfänder has made a much stronger impression in Spain and Mexico, perhaps because of Ortega y Gasset’s stimulating interest.

Tracing the development of Pfänder’s conception of phenomenology in detail would require a thorough study of the unpublished manuscripts in the Pfänderiana collection, some as early as 1907, distinguishing phenomenology and psychology (A V 3). Of particular interest are texts from the late twenties around the time that Pfänder gave his 1929 lecture on “Epistemology and Phenomenology” in Prague, now published in the Appendix of the posthumous Philosophie auf phänomenologischer Grundlage. They show, among other things, that for Pfänder at this time phenomenology was by no means merely a method of philosophy, but also what he called a “science” dealing on the basis of the epoché with essences, connections of essences, objects and acts of consciousness and their connections, and even with the “constitution” (Aufbau) of these acts and objects (pp. 154–157).

In the Cartesian Meditations Husserl says of the unreduced ontology that it serves as a “guiding thread” for the transcendental investigation, but this is still not Ingarden’s position, because Husserl insists immediately that the transcendental investigation will disclose something “entirely new”, i.e., that it will change the very meaning of the statements of unreduced ontology (cf.

The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1975. — It is quite controversial in what sense Husserl is to be regarded as a transcendental idealist. He himself had stressed that his philosophy had nothing to do with the idealistic position as it is traditionally understood (Husserl, Briefe… p. 73). Many interpreters agree with this self-appraisal of Husserl and go on to claim that in phenomenology the opposition of idealism vs. realism disappears. This claim can take two forms: (a) it is stressed that Husserl did not deny the contingent facticity of the real world (cf. the Husserl texts cited in I. Kern, Husserl und Kant (Phaenomenologica 16). The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff 1964, pp. 293–303; notice however that Kern does not deny that Husserl was an idealist, cf. below); (b) it is stressed that according to Husserl it is only the sense (the noema) of the real world which is said to be a product of consciousness. I would however remark: (ad a) this merely proves that Husserl was never an objective idealist in the Hegelian sense according to which world history would follow necessarily from the laws of dialectics, but it does not prove that Husserl accepted an autonomously existing real world in the realist’s sense (after all Berkeley, the subjective idealist, too, did accept the facticity of the real world); (ad b) as a matter of fact Husserl made the additional claim that the notion of something beyond this sense is nonsensical (widersinnig) (cf. Kern, op. cit., pp. 276–283; Husserl Ideen I 2. A. p. 117; Husserl (ca. 1924) in Husserliana vol. 8 p. 482), and it is precisely this additional claim which has never been accepted by the realists. — See also p. 261 note 64 and p. 263 note 78.

  85. In the controversy between idealism and realism it is the exact nature of the relations of dependence or independence holding between consciousness and the world that is at issue. It was therefore logical to start with an elaboration of existential ontology. Ingarden found four primary types of dependence or independence, and investigating which of their logically possible combinations were not apriori nonsensical, he arrived at a basic map of the idealism-realism controversy which can exactly differentiate between no less than fifteen apriori possible positions (cf. Der Streit… vol. 1, pp. 187–188). Investigations of further existential moments characteristic of the existence in time and the investigations in formal ontology indicated possible directions which a reduction of the number of acceptable positions might take, but their implementation presupposes already metaphysical evaluations of what is in fact the nature of consciousness and of the real world.
