FROM PERCEPTION AS LANGUAGE TO LANGUAGE AS PERCEPTION (WHAT IS DEAD AND WHAT IS ALIVE IN HUSSERL’S THEORY)

Summary/Abstract: We usually think that phenomenology should have something to say on perception, as it should also bring down to perception all other kinds of human activities that secure our insertion into the world. If we look though to Husserl, as the founder of the fundamental concepts of phenomenology, such a thesis does not go by itself. On one hand, it is not self evident that the fundamental concepts in Husserl’s phenomenology come from an analysis of perception. And, on the other hand, in applying these very concepts to perception itself, we find ourselves facing a number of difficulties. In order to positively use Husserl’s phenomenology in view of a philosophical and empirical research concerning perception andits relation to language we should thus take a critical point of view and clarify certain concepts. It is the task of this paper.
