This book proposes a new interpretative key for reading and
overcoming the binary of idealism and realism. It takes as its
central issue for exploration the way in which human consciousness
unfolds, i.e., through the relationship between the I and the
world—a field of phenomenological investigation that cannot and
must not remain closed within the limits of its own disciplinary
borders. The book focuses on the question of realism in
contemporary debates, ultimately dismantling prejudices and
automatisms that one finds therein. It shows that at the root of
the controversy between realism and idealism there often lie
equivocations of a semantic nature and by going back to the origins
of modern phenomenology it puts into play a discussion of the
Husserlian concept of transcendental idealism. Following this path
and neutralizing the extreme positions of a critical idealism
and a naïve realism, the book proposes a “transcendental
realism”: the horizon of a dynamic unity that embraces the
process of cognition and that grounds the relation, and not the
subordination, of subject and object. The investigation of this
reciprocity allows the surpassing of the limits of the domain of
knowing, leading to fundamental questions surrounding the ultimate
sense of things and their origin.
