My paper will examine the relationship between what might be called the Cosmos and the Life of Human beings particularly as it is bodily situated and lived. The Cosmos is not, then, primarily regarded in its astronomical sense, but more like what Husserl speaks about calling it the Earth which is the fundamental environment from which we as bodily situated individuals can never departure. We can, of course, departure from the earth (by getting into a flying plan or even travelling to another planet) but that is not the point – there is another way in which we cannot possibly leave the Earth – it has to do with some inescapable “origin” (the historical Life-world) and it is about it our paper will be inquiring. We start elucidating by shortly taking in the Ancient Greek philosopher Anaximander, then we move on to Husserl and finally comes some synthesis of Merleau-Ponty and Husserl particularly how they view nature in its genuine phenomenological origin. |
