Product Description

Building upon Husserl’s challenge to oppositions such as those between form and content and between constituting and constituted, The Concept of Passivity in Husserl �s Phenomenology construes activity and passivity not as reciprocally exclusive terms but as mutually dependent moments of acts of consciousness. The book outlines the contribution of passivity to the constitution of phenomena as diverse as temporal syntheses, perceptual associations, memory fulfillment and cross-cultural communication. The detailed study of the phenomena of affection, forgetting, habitus and translation sets out a distinction between three meanings of passivity: receptivity, sedimentation or inactuality and alienation. Husserl’s texts are interpreted as defending the idea that cultural crises are not brought to a close by replacing passivity with activity but by having more of both.

The Concept of Passivity in Husserl's Phenomenology (Contributions to Phenomenology) Review

At a kindle price over $100.00 and a hard cover price over $150.00, Victor Biceaga has written a dissertation well worth the effort as well as price. I'm glad "The Concept of Passivity in Husserl's Phenomenology" got released for the market place. Passivity use to be synonymous with 'lazy', 'slothful', maybe even catatonic-like at the extreme end of the continuum. But for Biceaga, passivity means much more. He begins by citing the "Traditional Subordinate role of Passivity", then takes us on a philosophical and phenomenological tour de force through the labyrinthine corridors of sensibility and the force of affect. "Left to the passive devices of sensibility and affectivity, the soul yields to the deceit of appearances and is incapable of reaching out for that which is". John Kekes (The Human Condition) tells us in his own way how we suffer from a "dissolution of the evaluative dimension of personality" when we regress. What Husserl, by way of Biceaga, helps us to do is to progress beyond our regressions. The state of being affected, attended to, cared for draws us out of our shells and into the world of others. Passivity is but a stage on its way to articulated phenomenology and I loved this book. Wouldn't it be nice if Amazon cut the price tag! More readers might read it.
