Abstract:
In this paper, I explore Edmund Husserl's account of the life-world for evidence that he posits it as the living flesh of the transcendental ego and thus as our primordial object-relation. In so doing, I attempt to rehabilitate and defend Husserl's notion of transcendental subjectivity, of the a priori, by noting how one's embodiment in many concrete experiences calls for and bears witness to this transcendental foundation of itself. After developing my reading of Husserl's account of the lifeworld, then turn to the phenomenological psychology of John Russon in his book Human Experience to show how Husserl's life-world as the primordial object-relation opens us onto a very concrete vision of intersubjectivity.
