A intersubjetividade nas Meditações cartesianas de Husserl

Abstract

This dissertation discusses the intersubjectivity concept in the Cartesian Meditations of Edmund Husserl. We begin our research by the transcendental epoché, and by the theory of reduction, explaining the main concepts related to intersubjectivity, as the transcendental ego, in contrast to the psychological I, and the concept of empathy, which is introduced through the solipsistic stance. As the intersubjectivity is based on empathy, we discuss the notions that support the empathic relation, namely the sphere of ownness, the two body dimensions, Körper and Leib, and the correlative notions of “presentation” and “pairing”. Finally, we analyze how empathy and intersubjectivity are presented in the work Krisis, as a counterpoint to the Cartesian Meditations. The two Works are confronted by the matter of the Phenomenology/Psychology relation, the role of empathy, and lastly, by the clarification of the inner tension in Cartesian Meditations, precisely between the Fifth Meditation and the first four, or between egology and empathy and intersubjectivity.
