GWF Hegel famously described philosophy as 'its own time
apprehended in thoughts', reflecting a desire that we increasingly
experience, namely, the desire to understand our complex and
fast-changing world. But how can we philosophically describe the
world we live in? When Hegel attempted his systematic account of
the historical world, he needed to conceive of history as rational
progress to allow for such description. After the events of the
twentieth century, we are rightfully doubtful about such progress.
However, in the twentieth century, another German philosopher,
Edmund Husserl, attempted a similar project when he realised that a
philosophical account of our human experience requires attending to
the historical world we live in. According to Husserl, the Western
world is a world in crisis. In this book, Tanja Staehler explores
how Husserl thus radicalises Hegel's philosophy by providing an
account of historical movement as open. Husserl's phenomenology
allows thinking of historical worlds in the plural, without
hierarchy, determined by ethics and aesthetics. Staehler argues
that, through his radicalization of Hegel's philosophy, Husserl
provides us with a historical phenomenology and a coherent concept
of a culture that points to the future for phenomenology as a
philosophy that provides the methodological grounding for a variety
of qualitative approaches in the humanities and social sciences.
