Abstract

TOURINHO, Carlos Diógenes Côrtes. Consciousness and the world in Husserl's phenomenology: influences and impacts on the human sciences. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.3, pp. 852-866. ISSN 1808-4281.

The present paper has as objective clarify the phenomenological problem of the relation between the consciousness and the world. The phenomenology of E. Husserl adopts of a methodological point of view the suspension of the judgement in relation to the position of the world's existence, recovering it in the consciousness, in an indubitable way, in his pure meaning. The paper tries to explain the specificity of the phenomenological attitude and the methodological strategy adopted by the phenomenology to do of philosophy a "rigorous science". The article also discusses the critical of the phenomenology to positivist view in the human sciences. The adoption of the positivist program in the human sciences limits us to an inductive and probabilistic logic, while the phenomenological method in the human sciences invites us to exercise a reflective and analytical attitude about what is most essential in the thing on which we return.

Keywords : Consciousness; World; Phenomenology; E. Husserl; Human sciences.
