Lohmar proposes to understand it as a kind of empiricist reduction to mere sense-data. On the contrary, I believe that it should be considered as entailing also the apprehensional forms of sense-data, though not the so-called apprehensional senses. In this article, I will offer some arguments and textual evidence in favour of this claim, and I will conclude by proposing that, despite Husserl’s unclarity on the issue, the reduction to the real components of experience, rather than being simply an ancestor of the transcendental-phenomenological reduction, should be seen as the regulative model of all later forms of reduction. Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 For the German word “Bestand”, especially in the meaning it assumes within the context of the present investigation, seems to have no appropriate direct translation into English. In Husserl Citation2001b (p. 99), it has been translated as “make-up”. I find this translation problematic, in as much as it suggests that it has something to do with “making.” This nuance is fully absent in the German “Bestand.” “Stock” may be a much better translation, because it gives a better sense of the (non-countable) presence of a quantity. However, although its connections to ‘supplying’ could render it an acceptable translation, its association with finance and the idea of something which can be exchanged would be misleading. Another good option would be “constituent”, but I surmise the full expression “real constituents” would incline one to understand this phrase to refer to the only pieces of intentional states that are actually responsible for the constitution of intentional states and objectual reference. This view could even be considered as correct, but I believe the matter should be left unprejudiced as far as the mere translation of the term “Bestand” is concerned. Therefore, I opt for the expression “component”: it seems to refer to a piece of something, besides other pieces, and is quite naturally connected with the idea of “elements.” This latter term would also be quite appropriate, and I will sometimes use it over the course of this article. However, I prefer to use “component” as the translation term for “Bestand” because it emphasises that which is referred to is normally a piece of a larger whole, and that it somehow “works” with them. I thus follow Ricoeur’s translation of the same term in the Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and a Phenomenological Philosophy. With respect to the word 'reell', used both as an adjective and as an adverb, the translation is also problematic.

After briefly referring to Arendt's difficult relationship with feminism, linking it to the struggle of Argentinian women for legalizing abortion, I look at Arendt's theorizing of the body in and beyond the private. I then argue for politicization of abortion as extrinsically enforced and rethink the role of the private in the context of abortion regulations and practices. In the closing section of my paper, I offer a micronarrative of the feminist street protests in Poland, and discuss it as an example of feminist revolutionary moment.KEYWORDS: Abortionfeminist phenomenologycritical phenomenologyHannah Arendtwomen's rightsphenomenology AcknowledgementsEarlier Versions of this paper have been presented at the following conferences: The Self and the Selfless.

Cause is the object of explanation. The original aspect of this study, which argues that reasons are in some sense causes, is that it discusses the distinction between reason and cause in the context of agency. It first explains the logical arguments that reasons cannot be causes and that reasons must be causes, and then presents an ontological argument concerning the pre-linguistic and irreducible continuity of phenomenal existence, in which critical realism and phenomenology work together. In discussing the manifestation of reasons in the form of beliefs, memories, and dream interpretations, the focus is on the irreducible phenomenological-psychological level between humans as an organic set of molecules and humans as beings emerging from a social network of meanings. Finally, non-human agency is discussed and the thesis is made that the capacity for agency is not a social gift.","PeriodicalId":44348,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR PHENOMENOLOGY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135246791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Colledge","doi":"10.1080/00071773.2023.2259435","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00071773.2023.2259435","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThe complexities of Heidegger’s early accounts of nature provide a privileged perspective from which to understand the evolution of his thought into the 1930s and beyond. This movement seems largely driven by his response to what Karsten Harries has called “the antinomy of being”. In Heidegger’s early writings, Natur is associated with the “theoretical” and the “intraworldly.” However, less attested is an “unworlded” and thus intrinsically “incomprehensible” sense of nature, as the abyssal ground of worlding. This thread is traced through key Marburg period texts, into Being and Time, and beyond it into the 1928 “metontology” appendix and its surprising transformation in the 1929 inaugural lecture. Finally, some cursory observations are made about how this trajectory unfolds in later Heideggerian thought, taking the 1936 Artwork essay as an example, showing how both sides of the antinomy of being come to be incorporated within a more comprehensive framing of the Seinsfrage.KEYWORDS: Heideggernatureworldbeingantinomymetontology Notes1 In terms of English language scholarship alone, it was noted long ago by Hubert Dreyfus in his influential commentary (Dreyfus, 109–115), shortly thereafter in a more detailed way by Bruce Foltz in his study on Heidegger and environmental ethics (Foltz, 31–33 ff), and it has been taken up more recently by Michael Lewis (chapter 1), David Storey (66–79ff), and in papers by other scholars (e.g., Padui; and Cooper).2 The theme of ontological surplus or excess is one that has been broached from a variety of angles in recent Heidegger scholarship, in ways that differ and overlap with the approach taken here. For example, in his fine overview of the theme in Kant and post-Kantian thought, Richard Kearney sees it as culminating in Heidegger’s conception of Dasein and the power of imagination. As will be seen, a very different notion of surplus is developed in this essay. Other approaches are closer to the one developed here, such as those of Polt, Storey, and more broadly, Capobianco (Heidegger’s Way of Being).3 Harries, The Antinomy of Being.
