On the Frontline of Phenomenological Experience : the Preface to the Translation of the First of "Phenomenological Meditations" by Marc Richir
Abstrakt
The aim of this paper is to present and briefly comment on our Russian translation of the first of Phenomenological Meditations of Marc Richir (1943-2005), a key figure of the "New French Phenomenology" (a term of Gondek and Tengelyi). Richir develops a phenomenological architectonics by distinguishing between the "symbolic" and "phenomenological" layers of sense.
The symbolic sense, as a sense that is already instituted or that could be instituted, is opposed to the phenomenological sense, which is a sense in ormation. The sphere of the phenomenological can be reached by way of a new, more radical reduction, which Richir calls a "hyperbolic reduction." Richir's phenomenological project nova methodo opens up new possibilities for the transcendental phenomenology.
