“The Ego beside Itself”
-
Vincent Gérard
Abstract
We know that Husserl had knowledge of the Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View, which he had at least partly read in Hartenstein’s edition of Kant’s Sämtliche Werke. In the section called “On the inhibition, weakening, and total loss of the sense faculties,” Kant poses the problem of death in terms comparable to those of Husserl. Here, I argue that in his analysis of sleep, birth, and death in the so-called C-Manuscripts, Husserl makes a transcendental use of Kant’s non-transcendental anthropology. If we can say, along with Saulius Geniusas, that the C-manuscripts “mark the emergence of the problematic of birth, death, and sleep into the critical scope of Husserl’s phenomenology of time,” then we need to add that the analysis of the sense faculties in the Anthropological Didactic marks its period of gestation.
