Notes for a philosophy of communication in E. Husserl: the question of intersubjectivity in its transcendental phenomenology

Abstract

In his vast intellectual work, Edmund Husserl touches on important edges that make us think — or even rethink — basic strata of the concept and modes of operation of what we understand by “communication”. How to think of this word in its most fundamental dimension, that human one? What does allow us to attest that we “communicate”, that there is a “me” and an “other”? Or, in other words, how would the fundamentals of commu- nicative act operate, namely, the constitution of this “intersubjectivity”? The fertility with which Husserl problematizes questions like these makes some of his writings a fruitful ground for the philosophy of communication.
