Do Phenomenological Heresies Exist?

Abstract

Should contemporary phenomenology be considered as a series of heresies or is it still possible to follow the direction of classical phenomenology to renw it? Does a classical phenomenology exist at all? We can already observe in Husserl's work a kind of stratification of phenomenology which makes it possible to affirm that from its beginning phenomenology has been already deconstructed and revised, never closed in a specific ontological field. Rather it is an indication of a method, of a cognitive praxis with a transcendental status. That opens phenomenology up to continuous revisions according to the object to which consciousness is addressed. This methodological essence of phenomenology explains its wide thematic modulation and its claim to be applied as a method to everything that has a phenomenal nature. As a way towards phenomena, the aim of phenomenology still today goes on deciphering the conditions of phenomenality and its reception by subjectivity.
