Prolegomena do fenomenologii anomalii
Prolegomena to the Phenomenology of Anomalies

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, phenomenology presents one of the paradigmatic ways of conducting research in the cognitive sciences. Referring to these studies and to considerations of Husserl and Merleau--Ponty, this paper makes attempts to formulate the methodological foundations for the inquiry of anomalies. Phenomenological apprehension of anomaly does not only present it as a deviation from the norm, but – highlighting the roots of anomalies in the body of the acting subject – it considers anomaly in the context of experience, world and intersubjectivity as an optimum. Thus, phenomenology allows to inquire anomalies as the „other” normality.
