Annotation -
The course will focus on contemporary phenomenology in France. It understands the phenomenon by virtue of its dynamism, spontaneity, and also unpredictability – features that turn the phenomenon into an event. This new conception of the phenomenon has led to a reconsideration of all key phenomenological terms, including that of subjectivity, henceforth understood as a receiving instance of the appearing transcendence. That is why French authors characterize subjectivity as the “subject” to whom appearing is given (Jean-Luc Marion’s adonné), as the “happening subject” (Henri Maldiney’s existent open to events or Claude Romano’s advenant), or as the subject ceaselessly in movement (Renaud Barbaras’ désir or Marc Richir’s aspiration infinie). However, in order to see clearly how phenomenology has changed in France after its first reception of Husserl and Heidegger, we will start with Husserl and with some key original concepts invented by two generations of post-husserlian authors who marked out the road to contemporary phenomenology: Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Erwin Straus, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jan Patočka, Emmanuel Lévinas.
