Abstract

In § 72 of his Krisis der europäischen Wissenschaften, Edmund Husserl introduces the term, die absolut fungierende Subjektivität, telling us that it refers not to human subjectivity but to subjectivity as such which only manifests itself as human subjectivity. The task and achievement of transcendental phenomenology, he tell us, was

“...die absolut fungierende Subjektivität zu entdecken, nicht als die menschliche sondern als die in der menschlichen, oder zunächst in der menschlichen, sich selbst objektivierende.” [Hua VI:265]
