In the framework of constitution, every individual is unique, but can never be "original." Originality is the property of a type. If the singular work is original, it is only because it has made a new type arise. The debate concerning the different prerogatives of constitution and creation is best expressed in this opposition: Constitution guarantees the unicity of the individual, but it belongs to creativity to produce originality in making a new system of meaning, supported by a new type, arise. 66 Variete, Paris, N.R.F., Vol. I, p. 128; cf L.

Hall and Gardner Lindzey, Theories of Personality 3d ed (New York: John Wiley, 1978). 77 Cf Ludwig Binswanger, Grundformen und Erkenntnis menschlichen Daseins (Zurich: Nichans, 1953). Ludwig Binswanger, the celebrated Swiss psychiatrist inspired by Husserl and Heidegger, has developed a psychiatric conception of the human being within the "life-world" in which, in contrast to Freudian views, no priority is attributed to a unique driving force within man. Rather, man's entire experiential system as expanded by his interactions with other men within the world becomes the pattern with reference to which psychiatric methods are devised. Binswanger has found numerous followers in several branches of what has become known as "phenomenological psychiatry." 78 In recent times, a highly developed conception of the specifically human person has come from the famous French psychiatrist Henri Ey. Ey and his school have brought to a culminating point the phenomenological tendency of Binswanger, Buytendyk, E. Minkowski, E. Straus and many others, in vindication of the belief that psychiatric diagnosis and therapy should deal with human nature as a whole. In his famous book, Consciousness, a Phenomenological Study of Being Conscious and Becoming Conscious, translated by John H. Flodstrom (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1978), Henri Ey presents, in its full expanse, the source and the experiential compass of the uniquely human conscious self as a person. Ey, and following him, Lanteri Laura, devise methods of psychiatric diagnosis with reference to the "disintegration of consciousness," i.e., of the person. 79 It is Max Scheler who has stressed particularly the significance of acting in the understanding of the human person. While emphasizing the autonomy of the person and the differentiation of the person from the individual, Scheler has highlighted particularly the social participation of the "intimate person," endowing it with a specific form of the "social person." Cf Max Scheler, Gesamtwerke, Bd. 2, Der Formalismus in der Ethik und die Materiale Wertethik (Bern: Franke Verlag, 1966), and by the same author, Bd. 8, Erkenntnis und Arbeit (Bern: Franke Verlag, 1960). so In this perspective the "autonomy" versus the "conditioning" of the person is the center of the controversy. SI Although Max Scheler attempts an inversion of this approach by seeking to show

444 NOTES

the origin of values in emotions, nevertheless values ultimately emerge in an already constituted form; this could not have occurred without the work of the intellect. Cf the present writer's monograph, "The Moral Sense at the Foundations of the Social World," in Foundations of Morality, Human Rights and the Human Sciences, Analecta Husserl­iana, Vol. XV, 1983. 82 By "sense" is meant here that which "infuses" the linguistic forms with significance so that they may present meanings (it should not be understood in relation to senses, sensory, sensuous etc. referring to sensory organs). 81 By "substantial persistence" is meant here the way in which the living being "appears" to our senses as a cogent, self-reposing, stable and perduring factor of life and to our actions as a responsive and autonomous partner. 84 Cf Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, "Die phlinomenologische Selbstbesinnung, Der Leib and die Transzendentalitiit in der gegenwiirtigen phiinomenologischen und psychia­trischen Forschung," Analecta Husserliana, Vol. I (Dordrecht/Boston: D. Reidel, 1971). 85 The distinction between our body as an object and our body as experienced stems from Edmund Husserl. Cf his Ideas Pertaining to a Pure Phenomenology and a Phenomenological Philosophy, Book II (Martinus Nijhoff, 1982), Part I. 86 For Husserl's most careful and masterful analysis of the relationship between our body as experienced and the psyche (or empirical soul), cf ibid., Part I. 87 I have attempted an investigation of the soul in its "essential manifestation" in the third part of my book, The Three Movements of the Soul, to appear in Vol. XXV of Analecta Husserliana. 88 Regarding the concept of the "human condition," cf the present author's mono­graph, Poetica Nova . .. a Treatise in the Metaphysics of the Human Condition and of Art, Analecta Husserliana, Vol. XII (DordrechtiBoston: D. Reidel, 1982). 89 Cf Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, "The Initial Spontaneity," Analecta Husserliana, Vol. V (Dordrecht/Boston: D. Reidel, 1976). YO In the above study, I have also indicated that from the very beginning of the individual unfolding of the human being, moral "virtualities" are present. YI I have succinctly analyzed this progress, terming it the forging of the "Transnatural Destiny of the Soul" in several of my writings. Cf "Hope and the Present Instant," in S. Matczak, ed., God in Contemporary Thought (New York/Louvain: Learned Publica­tionslNauvelearts, 1977). Y2 This progress of spiritual unfolding with reference to the Other, the other self - the "inward witness" will be the subject of the third panel of our triptych: The Three Movements of the Soul, which will appear as Analecta Husserliana, Vol. XXV. Y] The specific "mechanism" of this quest for the ultimate significance of human existence, as conducted with respect to another self, has been shown by the present writer in "Man the Creator and His Threefold Telos," Analecta Husserliana, Vol. IX (Dordrecht/Boston: D. Reidel Publ. Co., 1979). It appears that whoever the Other is, the concrete "encounter" with him or her in the significance of life is ever-elusive, because the Other functions merely as a concrete reference point, while it is the "inward witness" that is being consulted by the soul in its innermost depths. I show in this study how this comes to light when every supposed "communication" between the soul and the other self necessarily breaks down. With this break, however, the soul is ready for the face-to-face meting with the Ultimate Witness, who "has been there hidden in the intimate center ofthe soul all along" (as Teresa of Avila shows also).

94 The following analyses have appeared in my monograph, "The Moral Sense at the Foundation of the Social World," cited in note 81. 95 The term "source-experience" - in contradistinction to the classic phenomenologi­cal term "originary experience" - has been introduced by the present author precisely to pinpoint the crucial moment within the unfolding of individualizing life at which from the animal action/reaction agency a transition occurs to the specifically human experi­ence that simultaneously originates the human subject. 96 I have outlined the life-progress from the pre-life conditions accomplished by means of the individualization of the living being in "Natural Spontaneity in the Translacing Continuity of Beingness," in The Phenomenology of Man and of the Human Condition: The Individualization of Nature and the Human Being, Analecta Husserliana, Vol. XIV (Dordrecht/Boston: D.

III Edmund Husserl has left us a vast investigation of the ways in which givenness as such and then in its full-fledged construction of the life-world occurs in the processes of intentional consciousness - as well as in some pre-intentional circuits. The Husserlian corpus gives us a most detailed analysis of the ways in which the specifically human world is constituted in intentional consciousness. Husserl proposed intentional con­sciousness as the factor par excellence of the unique type of rationality which is characteristic of the human life-world and proposed from the beginning as an "ideal of absolute rationality" to strive for in human life.

The human life-world, of which the human individual is the vortex, is, indeed, in the Husserlian schema, a meaningful system established by the structurizing workings of

446 NOTES

intentional consciousness. In early lectures (1906-07), given between his Logical Investigations and Ideas I, Husserl gives us, although in fragments, an outline of his proposal to elaborate a groundwork for all the human sciences in a theory of the rational structuration of this meaningful system of the life-world which has man at its vortex, through the investigation of ways in which its intentional constitution, that is, its objectivization, occurs. 112 We are here concerned with the ontic, that is the sense-giving, function of the Human Condition and not with the universal order of the individualization of life. That is, we outline here an "ontology of the Human Condition" but do not treat in extenso the "metaphysics of life" in which it is embedded. Cf my "The First Principles of the Metaphysics of Life, Tractatus Brevis," in Analecta Husserliana, Vol. XXI, 1987. IIJ Between Logical Investigations and Ideas I Husser!, in his efforts to establish phenomenology as the foundation of all rationality, gave in his lectures of 1906-07, albeit in fragments, an outline of his theory of reason. The "absoluteness" of intentional consciousness is particularly emphasized by Husserl in these lectures (published recently under the title Einleitung in die Logik und Erkenntnistheorie, Bd. XIV Husserliana, The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1984). This absoluteness is here related to the "ideal of absolute rationality" as the aim of phenomenology. (Cf pp. 236-242 and 243-358.) In our present discussion we refer to this period in Husserl's thought because in these lectures Husser!'s discussion of objectivization led him to an outline of a theory of the intellect, the subject with which we are here concerned. These lectures, situated histori­cally between Logical Investigations and Ideas I, give a succinct outline - although only in fragments - of Husserl's basic views concerning the intentional constitution of the objective world, views which departed sharply from those of empirical conscious­ness. Although his views underwent several stages of transformation in detail, the main ideas persisted throughout these stages. The intentional ordering, that is the process of constitution, is sharply distinguished from the complexes of feeling, emotion, sensory stirrings, etc. which also represent consciousness - but merely empirical, psychological consciousness. Consciousness as "experience" appears only when in the experiencing process it enters the maw of the function of attention (Aufmerksamkeit), which is directed at something distinctive, on an individual object. Ibid., Chapter "Die Niederen Objektivationsformen," pp. 242-252. 114 Husserl emphasizes the "apperceptive" character of constitutive individualization. Even though the lower level of objectivization, it is yet strictly rational, the work of intellectual reason (Vernunft). With this work the givenness of the life-world, according to Husserl, begins. The level of primary perception offers the sphere that grounds the higher level of objectivization which Husserl considers to be the formation of the objects of thought (Denkgegenstiinde), grounded and analogical to the first level. And bringing forth a number of a priori principles and categories according to which constitution proceeds, he outlines a theory of the intellect. Ibid., p. 274. liS Subjectivity as an intentional agency, being the absolute source of rationality, and objectivity as such (Objektivitiit iiberhaupt) share essential formal principles: the objectivity of the life-world constitutes itself in forms corresponding to those of the objectifying experience in which the constitution takes place; they share the categorical principles of constitution. 116 Husser! b~ings forth individuality as the absolutely basic principle of constitution, that is, that of objectivity as such. It is, in fact, with respect to the principle of individ­uality that the objectivization of the world begins. Ibid., pp. 271-274.

NOTES 447

III Husser!'s early ideal of "absolute rationality" which is the task proposed to pheno­menology is strongly stated in the above-quoted lectures. Cf pp. 236-240. I 18 I introduce here a conception of consciousness that covers all the pulsations of individualizing life. IIY Husser! and followers, such as Scheler, Patocka, Pacci, Mer!eau-Ponty, and Gerd Brand have offered a wealth of insights into the constitution of the life-world and aired a great many issues concerning it.

Although our succinct account of the work of the intellect in the various phases of its setting up the multi-dimensional life-world of which we are the center and vortex agrees with and confirms many Husserlian observations concerning the workings of consciousness and reason (Vernunft), and although we will frequently use his terminology. this will serve only to indicate how far his ideas prove themselves in our new perspective and how far they undergo transformation.
