Il rapporto del sé con sé

L’alterità e il problema dell’intersoggettività

Abstract

Edmund Husserl analysis of intersubjectivity and of otherness in the Crisis of european sciences and in Cartesian meditations do not reach their real goal: the phenomenological construction of a multiplicity of alter egos which are connected and at the same time reciprocally stranger. There is a theoretical limit on this topic in Husserlian phenomenology which can not be hidden. In order to recognize this limit it is necessary to open a critical glance “outside” Husserl’s thought, in other words, it must be admitted, as a methodological presupposition, that there is an “other”, an external reason of being. Only this way the problem of the phenomenological otherness can be faced with the necessary radicality. With the expression “the relationship of the self with the self ” we mean the opening of a different, e.i. of an “other” theoretical situation, which is in itself heterogeneous with respect to the phenomenological thought.
