From Faust to Frankenstein
Man does not chose the human form and does not design it. The life-world of the man is not designed the way the human beings design their machines, i.e. it is not subject to ethnology. It is discovered by the born man, shaped to human and cultural form. This world is preserved, expanded and lost in the death. Human consciousness is a moment of human life and it lives in the same direction, re-synthesizing itself against its own loss. Man cannot subject its human form to a distant realization and objectivation. In order to do this, he must somehow step out of it, get to know it and exercise his influence upon it. But this means to go out of the world, the only world that belongs to him as a man – the human all of them, as far as they possess a human form, do not refer to a „transcendent“ intention and practice of a iteration of this for. When the man designs machines, writes poems and creates science and religion, he does not simply change his form, but only projects it an expands the horizons of his life-world.
Communism and its Implosion in the Eastern Europe
A phenomenological study of the communism and it’s explosion is carried out here. The phenomenological method allows an exploration of the life-world of communism to be made. Life-world (Lebenswelt) is a notion in the Phenomenological philosophy, introduced by Edmund Husserl in The Crisis of the European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology. Its creator defines the life-world as a world of everyday life before the scientific knowledge he world of unquestionably clear things or the „pre-predicative evidences“ (Husserl). This is a world not immediately recognisable, that has a full anonymous status. We are not aware, that it exists as a particular world that has been defined and explained in a sociocultural context. For us, it is simply the world.
About the Weakness of Philosophy
Let me now formulate the main question for this treatise.
Is philosophy valid as argumentation, when man faces pain and death? Does it give him the strength, that we men are taught to expect from wisdom, knowledge and mind?
I need an elucidation. I do not seek from philosophy an unbearably difficult mission. I wait from it something, what human being in general seeks wisdom for. For what else, if not for power in the face of his weakness, man seeks wisdom? Is not all the rest just vanity? The weakness of philosophy as a scholastic methodology, as interpretation of religion, ethics and art is not our topic in this treatise.
