Edmund Husserl on Spirit - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 247 Spirit/Husserl/Gadamer: [It becomes clear] that with the topic of intentionality an increasingly radicalizing critique of the "objectivism" of previous philosophy - also of Dilthey(1) - began, which was to culminate in the claim of philosophy: "that intentional phenomenology for the first time made the spirit as a spirit a field of systematic experience and science and Gadamer I 248 thereby achieved the total conversion of the task of knowledge. The universality of the absolute spirit encompasses all being in an absolute historicity, which nature classifies itself as a mental entity"(2). >Intentionality. Gadamer: It is no coincidence that here the spirit is contrasted as the only absolute, i.e. irrelative of the relativity of everything that appears to him; indeed, Husserl himself acknowledges the continuity of his phenomenology with Kant's and Fichte's transcendental question: "It must be added, however, in fairness that the German idealism emanating from Kant was already passionately endeavored to overcome the already sensitive naivety" (sc. of objectivism)(3). HusserlVsPhilosophy of Consciousness/Psychology/Gadamer: This is (...) the consequence of his own criticism of objectivist psychology and the pseudo-Platonism of the philosophy of consciousness. This is completely clear after the publication of "Ideas II" (4). >Consciousness/Husserl, >Objectivism/Husserl, >Way of Givenness/Husserl. 1. Husserliana VI, 344. 2. Husserliana VI, 346. 3.
