Cet essai propose de contribuer au développement d’une cosmologie phénoménologique, dans la voie ouverte par Fink, Patocka ou Renaud Barbaras. Au regard de cette approche, il faut combattre le naturalisme, car les choses (les phénomènes) ne sont pas des systèmes matériels réductibles en dernière instance à leurs constituants élémentaires. Mais face au subjectivisme, les phénomènes ne sont pas non plus assimilables à leur sens constitué dans la conscience. Celle-ci, comme toute chose, est située dans le monde, lequel seul fait apparaître tout ce qui est. Apparaître signifie entrer en présence, accéder à l’individuation par un mouvement qui a pour fond producteur le monde lui-même, mouvement dont on soutient dans ce travail qu’il est une structure essentielle de l’apparaître, ou ce que Husserl aurait nommé un a priori matériel. Reste à comprendre comment la conscience peut accéder à de telles structures, si elle est elle-même limitée par la constitution finie des facultés anthropologiques qui médiatisent son ouverture. La cosmologie phénoménologique d’inspiration réaliste doit-elle réinvestir l’opposition kantienne entre choses en soi et phénomènes ? Il faut surtout montrer comment la conscience, en dépit de sa finitude, a accès à l’absolu en tant qu’il se montre, et envisager ainsi la phénoménologie comme voie méthodologique vers une forme renouvelée de métaphysique.

Pragmatic Perspectives in Phenomenology offers a complex analysis of the pragmatic theses that are present in the works of leading phenomenological authors, including not only Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, as it is often the case within Hubert Dreyfus’ tradition, but also Husserl, Levinas, Scheler, and Patocka. Starting from a critical reassessment of existing pragmatic readings which draw especially on Heidegger’s account of Being-in-the-world, the volume’s chapters explore the following themes as possible justifications for speaking about the pragmatic turn in phenomenology: the primacy of the practical over theoretical understanding, criticism of the representationalist account of perception and consciousness, and the analysis of language and truth within the context of social and cultural practices. Having thus analyzed the pragmatic readings of key phenomenological concepts, the book situates these readings in a larger historical and thematic context and introduces themes that until now have been overlooked in debates, including freedom, alterity, transcendence, normativity, distance, and self-knowledge. This volume seeks to refresh the debate about the phenomenological legacy and its relevance for contemporary thought by enlarging the thematic scope of pragmatic motives in phenomenology in new and revealing ways. It will be of interest to advanced students and scholars of phenomenology who are interested in moving beyond the analytic-continental divide to explore the relationship between practice and theory.

Françoise Dastur is well respected in France and Europe for her mastery of phenomenology as a movement and her clear and cogent explications of phenomenology in movement. These qualities are on display in this remarkable volume. Dastur guides the reader through a series of phenomenological questions—language and logic, self and other, temporality and history, finitude and mortality—that also call phenomenology itself into question, testing its limits and pushing it in new directions. Like Merleau-Ponty, Dastur sees phenomenology not as a doctrine, a catalogue of concepts and catchphrases authored by a single thinker, but as a movement in which several thinkers participate, each inflecting the movement in unique ways. In this regard, Dastur is both one of the clearest guides to phenomenology and one of its ablest practitioners.
