Abstract

Helmuth Plessner refused phenomenology as a doctrine and rigorous method and its identification with philosophy, but deemed it necessary to assume a «phenomenological attitude» in the research on human beings. Only a phenomenological attitude can overcome the soul-body dualism and allow the recognition of «material a priori» as a category of organic reality. The intuition of essences, together with other methodological instruments, can help to complete our knowledge and to find empirical reality beyond physical-mathematical description.
