Pojam atmosfere u novoj fenomenologiji Hermanna Schmitza
The Concept of Atmosphere in Hermann Schmitz’s New Phenomenology

Summary/Abstract: This paper will discuss the concept of atmosphere in the new phenomenology of Hermann Schmitz. It is one of Schmitz’s central concepts, and it is used to indicate the basis of experience of reality and the self, with respect to how they are revealed to the phenomenological analysis. This concept, therefore, refers to the concrete phenomena of atmosphere, but it also testifies to the way in which Schmitz understands and questions the phenomenology as such. The paper aims to present the concept of atmosphere primarily in the view of second indicated perspective, by the analysis of the structure of the concept and the phenomenon of atmosphere, by associating them with the Schmitz’s notions of body and space, and, finally, by comparing Schmitz’s analysis to the positions of other phenomenologists. The analysis shows that the concept of atmosphere in Schmitz’s phenomenology is primarily a theoretical ground for the foundation of phenomenological process itself.
