Edmund Husserl on Humans - Dictionary of Arguments
I 124/125 Human/Husserl: the human has a specific structure: on the one hand the human is the subject of an open life and horizon of effect, which he/she shapes by acting, on the other hand he/she puts his/her actions under a consciously guiding idea of purpose. There are two ways: a) passive life in random circumstances b) intention to shape one's own life in free reason. >Intention, >Circumstances. Nature of humans: ability of personal self-observation and self-assessment. >Essence/Husserl. I 106 Humanity horizon/Husserl: There is a difference between passive understanding of expression and reactivation of meaning. This difference shapes the human horizon. >Horizon/Husserl._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
