Edmund Husserl on Intentionality - Dictionary of Arguments

Gadamer I 251
Intentionality/Husserl/Gadamer: That fact that Husserl has that of transcendental subjectivity everywhere in mind simply corresponds to the task of phenomenological constitutional research. But it is characteristic of his actual intention that he does not say consciousness, not even subjectivity, but "life".
He wants to go back behind the actuality of the consciousness that means, yes, also behind the potentiality of the fellow human being to the universality of a last that alone is able to measure the universality of what has been accomplished, i.e. what is constituted in its validity. It is a fundamentally anonymous intentionality, i.e. an intentionality that is no longer made by name, by which the all-encompassing world horizon is constituted. >Horizon/Husserl
, >Time-Consciousness/Husserl, >Lifeworld/Husserl.
