Husserl – from an intercultural point of view

Publication |
2009

Abstract

Though Edmund Husserl did not develop a theory of interculturality, his thinking could be the starting point for realizing an intercultural philosophy. This article, however, relates to the specific area of thinking opened by Husserl’s philosophy, stating that this area is not identical with Husserl’s position itself.

The article discusses two critical points that say Husserl is an Eurocentric thinker, deals with the reactions given by Eugen Fink and Michel Henry, and finally shows that problems that are unsolved in Husserl’s, Fink’s, and Henry’s thinking, could be the real base of a intercultural philosophy.
