Husserl later pulled intentionality back inward into the mind, diverging from Sartre’s outward reading
Evidence
Sartre’s gift for shocking metaphor makes his ‘Intentionality’ essay the most readable introduction to phenomenology ever written, and one of the shortest. It is certainly a better read than anything Husserl wrote. Yet Sartre was by then already aware that Husserl had later moved away from this outward-bound interpretation of intentionality. He had come to look at it a different way, as an operation that pulled everything back into the mind after all. — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café, 161
Categorization
- QUESTION: Worth chasing: what exactly was Husserl’s later, more ‘transcendental’ turn, and in what texts did he make it? This divergence seeds the later existentialism-vs-phenomenology split.
- XREF: connects to: Husserl betrays his own insight by making the noema a mental correlate; Sartre rejects Husserl’s epoché because he examines consciousness in-the-world; Sartre’s own writings drift from lived body toward instrumental body — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre: The Riddle of…, 99
