Abstract

The world as "the genuine matter of phenomenology"-to cite a contemporary author, Klaus Held-is linked with one of Edmund Husserl's most important philosophical inceptions, one still living today even if in its contemporary form it is associated, as usual, with revisions, reversals, and heresies. In conjunction with Martin Heidegger's critique of phenomenology, Eugen Fink follows this impulse to think the world in another way-indeed, to initiate a cosmological turn beyond phenomenology. Klaus Held's aim in this chapter is to show that "it is the finitude of the world in Heidegger's sense that makes its infinity in Edmund Husserl's sense possible". Laszlo Tengelyi's turns to the diacritical (in contrast to a distant third-person perspective) was inspired by Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Yet he remains close to Husserl’s phenomenological idea of the structure of a thing within an infinite world-horizon, which is taken as a “differential system of possible experiences”.
