Husserl's Transcendental Phenomenology Research Articles

Mengungkap Kesadaran Peran Akuntan Pendidik : Perspektif Teori Tindakan Hannah Arendt

To produce accounting graduates that meet industry demands, the quality of their educators plays a significant role. If the quality of the accounting educators is high, then the quality of the graduates will also be high, and vice versa. In reality, the primary cause of the gap between the expectations of accounting graduates and their actual skills lies in the educators' lack of proficiency and competence in preparing graduates for successful careers. Based on this, the researcher seeks to explore the awareness of lecturers in the Sharia Accounting Study Program regarding their role as accounting educators. To examine this awareness, the researcher employs Edmund Husserl's transcendental phenomenology study. The results of this research indicate that the awareness of the role of accounting educators consists of providing engagement, training, and role modeling for students. When related to Hannah Arendt's theory of action, these roles are sequentially categorized as labor, work, and action awareness. On the other hand, when linked to Agus Mustofa's theory of consciousness, these roles align sequentially with sensory, rational, and spiritual theories. This research is expected to serve as a reference for Al Qolam University Malang in evaluating the role awareness of accounting educators in the learning process. After understanding this concept, the University should provide training and support to enhance the quality of accounting educators, enabling them to reach a higher level than they currently possess.

Rainbow within and beyond: A qualitative study on the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender staff nurses in the Philippine hospital settings.

An individual's sexual orientation plays a fundamental role in their self-identity, relationships, and health. Years have shown both progressive and regressive responses to the LGBT community's social acceptance, particularly observable in various areas. Yet existing literature overlooks the Filipino healthcare settings, particularly with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) staff nurses. Exploring their perspectives and experiences, whether challenges or successes, is crucial for gaining insights into occupational matters, workplace dynamics, and policy development. The research aimed to explore the lived experiences of LGBT staff nurses in the hospital settings. Husserl's Transcendental Phenomenology research design was utilized in this study. Participants included LGBT staff nurses with at least a year of experience at any hospital department. Individualized unstructured interviews were conducted with three participants interviewed face-to-face and five through online video conferencing platforms from March to April 2024. All interviews were transcribed, coded, themed, and analyzed using Colaizzi's approach. Data saturation was achieved with eight participants. Seven themes emerged, including: Recognizing Gender Stereotypes, Optimizing Nursing Care, Yearning for Acceptance, Generating Meaningful Relationships, Battling Heteronormative Gender Norms, Inspiring Potentials beyond Gender and Profession, and Valuing the Progress of LGBT Inclusivity. The study revealed that LGBT staff nurses had multifaceted experiences with patients, colleagues, and superiors in the hospital settings as their workplace. They faced gender stereotyping and battled against limits on expression but fought to defend their authentic identities. They built relationships with colleagues and strived to be defined beyond societal perceptions. As they yearn for amplified LGBT acceptance in the workplace and society, they expressed gratitude for progress towards acceptance of the LGBT community.

Fostering dialogue: a phenomenological approach to bridging the gap between the "voice of medicine" and the "voice of the lifeworld".

This article adopts Husserl's transcendental phenomenology to explore the complex relationship between patients and physicians. It delves into the coexistence of two distinct voices in the realm of medicine and health: the "voice of medicine" and the "voice of life-world." Divided into three sections, the article emphasizes the importance of shifting from a scientific-medical attitude to a more personalistic approach in physician-patient interactions. This shift aims to prevent depersonalization and desubjectification. Additionally, it highlights the equal and irreducible nature of patients while acknowledging the vital role physicians hold in the realm of illness. The article stresses the need for a balanced and equitable relationship between both parties, rooted in the shared life-world. Moreover, empathy is underscored as a crucial element in fostering meaningful dialogue, wherein understanding diverse perspectives and attitudes towards illness is paramount. The article argues that differences between patients and physicians are necessary for empathy, while shared similarities form its foundation. Ultimately, a harmonious relationship facilitates empathy and enables the constitution of a new sense of life for both patients and physicians.

Transformative Teaching Practices: The Lived Experiences of Educators in the Catch-Up Fridays Program

This phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of secondary public school teachers participating in the Catch-Up Fridays program. The initiative, designed to address learning gaps and enhance student outcomes, mandates that teachers dedicate Fridays to improving students’ literacy and numeracy. Using Husserlian transcendental phenomenology, the study captures the complexities of teachers’ engagement, highlighting both the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations behind their participation. Key themes include compliance with educational directives, the role of teachers as catalysts of change, emotional rewards and student engagement, and challenges in execution. Findings reveal that while teachers are driven by professional duty and a commitment to student improvement, they face significant obstacles such as unclear implementation guidelines, lack of prepared materials, and doubts about the program’s long-term effectiveness. Despite these challenges, teachers report a deep sense of fulfillment from witnessing student progress and engagement. The study underscores the need for better communication, resource provision, and long-term planning from educational authorities to support teachers effectively. By addressing these issues, the Catch-Up Fridays program can be enhanced to better meet its goals of improving educational outcomes for students. The research contributes valuable insights into the practical realities faced by teachers and the critical factors influencing the success of educational initiatives.

The Significance of Agricultural Extension Activities for Wetland Rice Farmers in Serang, Indonesia

In the context of Serang, Indonesia, agricultural extension activities have recently faced challenges related to reduced participation, as observed by the majority of agricultural extension officers. This reduced participation manifests through the limited attendance of farmers in meetings, the passive engagement of farmers and their respective groups in facilitating extension activities, and the generally muted response to agricultural technology content presented during these sessions. Conversely, fostering greater participation in agricultural extension activities can be achieved through coordinated efforts with supportive assistance or the provision of incentives. This study aims to assess the significance of agricultural extension activities for wetland rice farmers in Serang, Indonesia. It adopts a qualitative research approach, focusing on the phenomenology of extension activities within the realm of rice farming in Serang. Data analysis for this study employs Husserl's transcendental phenomenology data analysis method, which is incorporated within the interactive model data analysis framework. The information pertaining to the experiences of agricultural extension activities, as recounted by the informants (farmers), was extracted by identifying specific statements made by the farmer informants during interviews. A total of 133 individual verbatim statements provided by informants were systematically categorized. Three overarching themes, or units of meaning, emerged from this categorization, revealing the essence of agricultural extension activities and the informants' perceptions. These themes are as follows: Extension as a Source of Information, Extension as a Source of Technology, and Extension as a Source of Assistance. They encapsulate the texture and structure of the farmers' experiences with rice farming extension activities. The textural description highlights aspects closely linked to the transmission of information, technology, government initiatives, and assistance delivery. The structural aspect examines the meaning of extension activities within the economic, learning, and participation contexts of the participants. Subsequently, the combined meaning and essence of the rice farming extension experiences for each farmer informant are synthesized, collectively painting a comprehensive picture of their experiences. These experiences extend beyond the acquisition of agricultural knowledge and technology; they also encompass the provision of much-needed assistance for farmers to effectively adopt and implement these innovations.

Konstruksi Model Sustainability Report Pada Hotel Bintang Lima Di Bali

Currently, the hotel industry in Bali does not yet have guidelines or models for carrying out sustainability reporting, known as the Sustainability Report (SR). Based on this, it is deemed necessary to construct an SR model for hotels in Bali so that it can be used as a guide in submitting sustainability reports. This research aims to construct an SR model for five-star hotels in Bali. Through a qualitative research method, namely Husserl's transcendental phenomenology with interview techniques with several informants, the results were obtained that the SR implemented by five star hotels in Bali has a basis, namely based on the Tri Hita Karana (THK) philosophy. The THK concept is very compatible with the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) concept. The implementation of SR practices with the THK concept in the form of parahyangan, pawongan and palemahan has been carried out by the hotel both internally and externally. The TBL concept is adapted to the THK concept which is in accordance with Hindu philosophy and culture in Bali, so additional aspects of spirituality are needed. Meanwhile, the social aspect is added to culture so that it becomes a socio-cultural aspect. So the SR model with a new construction is SR with four aspects in it consisting of economic aspects, socio-cultural aspects, environmental aspects and spiritual aspects. This adapted SR model construction is called the Harmony Sustainability Report (HSR).

Constructing the school paradox in the lives of children living with parental mental illness.

Children living with parental mental illness are referred to as an invisible population because mental health services rarely target them, as the focus is often on the parent who is ill mentally. The same situation occurs even in school where they are unnoticed. This study conducted in Ghana creates awareness about what these children think about their interactions at school in the context of parental mental illness. Data was collected through interviews and diaries with 13 children living with parental mental illness and analysed to attain the essential features through Husserl's transcendental phenomenology. The children find the school as a happy space where they do not have to be worried about the parent's mental illness. Ultimately, though, even at school, most of the children become concerned about the mental wellbeing of the parent due to their loyalty towards them. This results in the school paradox where the children are torn between having their own time at school and being worried about the parent's condition back home, wanting to be there for the parent. The school paradox is an unhealthy cycle that could be addressed with coordinated efforts from mental health professionals, social workers, psychologists and teachers.

Mengungkap Makna Pendapatan dalam Perspektif Sopir Bus di Masa Pandemi Covid-19

Purpose: This study aims to understand in depth the meaning of income according to the perspective of city transportation bus drivers at the Paciran terminal during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, the meaning of income is formed by the environment of the city transport bus drivers.Method: This study uses the approach with the interpretive paradigm of Husserl's transcendental phenomenology. The phenomenological method emphasizes the meaning that arises from each individual's experience and awareness. Results: The results showed that the informants had different meanings of income. Income is interpreted as a form of material used to meet family needs and future savings. Income is a non-material form, namely the income of inner satisfaction by feeling happy because it helps passengers who need transportation, and income is a spiritual form by applying "flexible" fares to passengers who need transportation for humanitarian purposes, It is believed that someone will get more sustenance than what is given to others because sustenance has already been arranged.Implications: This study reveals the meaning of income from the perspective of bus drivers. The approach through different professions but close to the community provides expansion and development of accounting theory from various existing perspectives, including the internalization of local wisdom values in it.Novelty: This study has a novelty in Hurssel's phenomenological approach in the context of the meaning of income from the perspective of bus drivers which has a meaning that is contrary to the concept of accounting theory.

О человеческой размерности философии и научной рациональности

The article analyzes the problem of the relationship between natural science and philosophy from the point of view of their role in solving fundamental worldview problems that are significant for a person - the meaning of human existence, the purpose and purpose of a person, his history and freedom. The fundamental principles of classical rationalism are analyzed, on the basis of which the development of New European philosophy and natural science took place. An assessment is given of the variant of solving the crisis of science and philosophy, which was proposed by E. Husserl's transcendental phenomenology.

THE TRANSCENDENTAL AND THE MUNDANE SPHERES: ARE THEY REALLY ONTOLOGICALLY DISCTINCT?

As implied by the title this article deals with a key question running through the history of philosophy virtually since antiquity. This is the question of the relationship, on ontological grounds, of the transcendental and the mundane “universes” to the extent that the nature of transcendence, even as detached from the metaphysical sphere and recalibrated in terms of immanence in the broadly conceived subjectivist tradition, it is still a highly controversial issue primarily in continental philosophy. This is especially true in view of the obvious incompatibility, at least in a naive sense, of the transcendental and the mundane contexts for which the philosophical discussion on phenomenological grounds is still open. My own arguments on the issue are mainly based on the Husserlian and Heideggerian narratives and also on E. Fink’s approach to the transcendence versus mundanity ontological problematic. On these prompts I set out to defend the position that there are serious reasons to regard the realm of transcendence as ineluctably constrained by mundanity concerns. More concretely I will try to show that there is no way, at least in the context of the phenomenological discourse, to do away with a kind of mundanity influence even in the most pure transcendental level involving the cornerstone of Husserlian transcendental phenomenology which is the concept of absolute ego. My overall approach, more than an attempt at vindicating Fink’s objections as to the purely transcendental level reached after the radical phenomenological reduction, is a demonstration of the conceptual pitfalls or even circularities involved along the way in trying to establish a sound foundation for a purely transcendental ontological level.

Epoché and Reduction in Husserl's Phenomenology

The text outlines some of the main theoretical-methodological procedures in Edmund Husserl's transcendental phenomenology. The first part offers a brief introduction to Husserl's general philosophical project. In the second part, the question of the phenomenological epoché is considered, as a first, negative procedure of the phenomenological reduction. A comparison is also made between the practice of epoché by Husserl and Descartes’ methodical doubt. The third part turns to the different types of reductions and examines the relationship between them.

Pragmatic Encroachment, Phenomenology, and Religious Experience

Aaron Rizzieri’s Pragmatic Encroachment, Religious Belief, andPractice (2013) is the fullest religious appropriation of a relatively new epistemological concept: pragmatic encroachment. To achieve this goal, Rizzieri rightly sees (1) how justification takes place within an encompassing pragmatic context and (2) how justification of religious belief establishes within a wider context less than absolute knowledge. While the first point can be supported by Alfred Schutz’s theory of action, often including multi-layered sub-acts, Schutz’s idea of a theoretical enclave can create a space for epistemic evidentialism, as an independent distinctive moment, with distinctive (justificatory) purposes, within an overarching practical action. Rizzieri’s book itself exemplifies such evidentialism, theoretically justifying pragmatic encroachment, after the fashion of Husserlian transcendental phenomenology. Rizzieri could also profit from Husserlian regional ontologies, on which he implicitly already relies to support religious knowledge. Husserl’s concept of bipolar intentionality would accommodate Rizzieri’s responsible internalism, while allowing for the action of objects upon us. This, in turn, opens the door to the evidence for religious knowledge that an account of religious experience such as Max Scheler’s could provide. Such an account could counter those who reduce religious experience to mere subjective projection—a critique to which internalism might be more vulnerable.

A Phenomenological Study on Parental Involvement in the Completion of Students’ Learning Task in Science under Modular Distance Learning

An education continuum plan was unveiled by the Department of Education (2020) as soon as schools resumed their operations and acknowledged the key contribution that parents can make to the academic achievement of their children. Hence, this paper sought to explore parental participation in the completion of science academic tasks using the Husserlian Transcendental phenomenology approach. The result revealed six (6) emerging themes of the parents' lived experience; (1) parents’ educational background and ability limit their involvement in Science learning tasks; (2) social media sites and online games hamper science learning tasks productivity; (3) navigating multifaceted challenges in the new-normal education; (4) technology and the internet as a game-changer in the completion of Science learning tasks; (5) moral and emotional support as a way to encourage; and (6) discipline and ensuring a healthy working environment at home. Based on the findings, the school must provide parents with intervention strategies that meet their demands, including household instructional strategies and behavior management approaches for circumstances when children are learning at home.

Beyond Husserl and Schütz. Hermann Schmitz and Neophenomenological Sociology

AbstractPhenomenological sociology is one of the most recognized approaches for explaining the constitution of social behaviour and the construction of social reality. To this day, phenomenological sociology usually belongs to the tradition of Edmund Husserl's transcendental phenomenology and to Alfred Schütz's mundane phenomenology, thus generally presenting itself as sociology of lifeworld, sociology of everyday life, and sociology of knowledge. In contrast to this, this paper intends to outline an alternative kind of phenomenological sociology that finds its philosophical foundation in Hermann Schmitz's “New Phenomenology”. With regards especially to Schmitz's theory of the felt body (“Leib”) and his theory of situation, the basic principles of Neophenomenological Sociology (NPS) will be introduced. Their main components are (1) felt body and affective involvement as the pre‐personal apriori of sociality, (2) felt‐bodily communication as the basic unit of sociality, and (3) joint situations as the socio‐ontological foundation and empirical manifestation of sociality. With these specific key concepts, NPS proves itself to be a socio‐theoretical approach whose foremost strength is that it can identify and properly analyse the pathic dimensions of social behaviour and social situations that social sciences tend to overlook.

Transcendental pride and Luciferism: On being bearers of light and powers of darkness

The ancient theme of the metaphysical-theological extremes of being-human is revisited by asking about the condition for the readiness to engage in the form of violence which is nuclear war. Sartre’s analysis of the extreme form of anger which crosses a threshold resulting in a self-legitimating righteous indignation which admits of no superior mollifying standpoint is appropriated to account for the complacency with the institution of nuclear weapons. The god-like anti-God characteristics of extreme rage are put on ice but ready to be thawed quickly in the three-quarter of a century old disposition to destroy the world in which all life that we know is lived. The parallels with the myth of Lucifer invite themselves. This raises the question of what there is in being-human which is the condition for the possibility of such Luciferian impulses. Features of being human explicated by Husserlian transcendental phenomenology serve as lures to the unique form of pride that here is called Luciferian. Here it is argued that these features can also be lures to a sense of pride, analogous to the ancient magnanimitas, as developed by Aquinas.

The Meaning of Profit in Immigrant Java Perspective

The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of in the perspective of Javanese who emigrated in Gorontalo. The results of this paper are expected to be useful for Javanese immigrant to realize the meaning of and can add to the scientific treasury in the field of accounting that earnings have meaning from different perspectives. Husserl's transcendental phenomenology approach is used to answer research questions and informant experiences based on awareness. The researcher obtained the results of the study that the material profit obtained was understood by the informant namely Mrs. Sulami that the profit was meant to meet the needs of the family , so that what is needed in the family can be fulfilled. And profit is also interpreted as disturbance of worship which in the sense is a form of gratitude for the results obtained, which is a profit as a provision for worship in the hereafter through group study every week.

Husserl on Kant and the critical view of logic

ABSTRACT This paper seeks to clarify Husserl’s critical remarks about Kant’s view of logic by comparing their respective views of logic. In his Formal and Transcendental Logic (1929, §100) Husserl criticizes Kant for not asking transcendental questions about formal logic, but rather ascribing an ‘extraordinary apriority’ to it. He thinks the reason for Kant’s uncritical attitude to logic lies in Kant’s view of logic as directed toward the subjective, instead of being concerned with a ‘“world” of ideal Objects’. Whereas for Kant, general logic is about laws of reasoning. Husserl thinks that formal logic should describe formal structures. Husserl claims that if Kant had had a more comprehensive concept of logic, he would have thought of raising critical questions about how logic is possible. This kind of criticism cannot itself use forms of judgments or syllogisms of logic, nor even the ‘inferential’ [schliessende] method more generally, but should be descriptive in nature. Husserl's transcendental phenomenology is the method for such criticism. The paper argues that this results in reflection, and possibly revision, of the logical principles with respect to the normative goals governing the investigation in question.

The Plausible Impact of Phenomenology on Gödel's Thoughts

AbstractIt is well known that in his later years Gödel turned to a systematic reading of phenomenology, whose founder, Edmund Husserl, was highly esteem as a philosopher who sought to elevate philosophy to the standards of a rigorous science. For reasons purportedly related to his earlier attraction to Leibnizian monadology, Gödel was particularly interested in Husserl's transcendental phenomenology and the way it may shape the discussion on the nature of mathematical‐logical objects and the meaning and internal coherence of primitive terms in mathematics. This article, which is less interested in historical facts that are amply presented in other scholars’ accounts, rather tries to point to the mostly indirect influence that the ideas of transcendental phenomenology, including Gödel's reported reference to the notion of (inner) time, had on his philosophy of mathematics, especially with a view to key independent questions of mathematical foundations. A main source for Gödel's philosophical‐epistemological views (of course in addition to his own published material) will be his recorded discussions with H. Wang and S. Toledo, as well as various articles and drafts found in his Nachlass.

Husserl y las aporías de la intersubjetividad

This article considers the treatment of intersubjectivity as the core of Husserl's transcendental phenomenology. From this standpoint it identifies the problematic of Husserl's theory of the "experience of the Other", which Husserl exposes in his commentaries on Descartes V Meditation. The paper draws a parallel between Husserl and Kant in order to clarify the Husserlian notions, and finally shows the difficulties of Husserl's approach due to his assumption of the premises of the "Subjektsphilosophie".

Las "Ideas" de Husserl y "Ser y Tiempo" de Heidegger

Speaking about the influence Husserl had on his early thinking Heidegger later on always referred to Husserl's 'Logische Untersuchungen' (1900/01), emphasizing the attitude of critical distance he had towards the "Ideen zu einer reinen Phänomenologie und phänomenologischen Philosophie" (1913) and Husserl's transcendental phenomenology pointed out there. Nevertheless, as shown in this paper, it is evident that in 'Being an Time' Heidegger took over some essential issues from Husserl's later work (as e.g. the transcendental attitude, the claim of phenomenology to be a "productive logic" and the conception of "regional ontologies"). But it is also clear that he was also essentially changing their character.
